'll never forget the one in 2001. I was working in a old building next to the May flower Hotel at Westlake Center. My office was on the 4th floor facing Macy's. The building was built in the 20's, luckily our Headqtrs in S.F had it retro fitted 14 years ago. We still had 1.5 million dollars in damage. I thought the damn floor was going to give out, I booked it down the stairs while seeing the plaster walls fracturing, made it outside to find a lady on the side walk having a heart attack. Turned out she was going to be ok. The thing I remember was a huge dust clowd looking south on 4th ave from all of the mortar. I thought for sure the viaduct was pancaked, and I was going to walk home to Alki Point, caught the first bus to West Seattle. I stopped at the market and bought two cans of beer to calm my nerves, the checker told me a lot of People were doing the same thing lol.
I can't imagine going through the one in Japan....that mfr lasted 7 MINUTES. I was playing general contractor for a year or more while doing my other job. I was glad when it was all over.

Yikes!
All these geological events are gonna kill us before global climate warming change gets its chance.
I see Ranier, St Helens, Hood, Shasta and Lassen blowing their tops simultaneously, ending life as we know it on the west coast. Not to be outdone, the Yellowstone caldera will get in the act and spew ash, fire and brimstone all the way to Ohio.
We're doomed. DOOMED, I say.
Oh well. Nobody ever died of nothin'. Hey if we all die you will be free of your unpaid gambling debt.

Hank you better check with your insurance broker and make certain death caused by "aggressive self auto-erotic asphyxiation & complete rectal prolapse" is fully covered by your policy. It wasn't for David Carradine and nobody got nuthin' except a really funny & gross story.

Lots of quakes the past few hours in Monroe and Cathcart. I live in Cathcart at the epicenter. First quakes of my life that I've ever actually felt. I guess it's made national news because people out of state are checking in. Crazy.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I guess it's made national news because people out of state are checking in. Crazy. Except for a little over 4 years living in Japan and 1 year in Vietnam, I've lived in Californistan all of my life. Everyone knows about the shakers and temblors down here, but a month without an earthquake in Japan that was measurable in magnitude and felt was rare. During the '89 quake down here I was in a laundromat washing some sleeping bags and bedspreads. When it hit there were people shrieking and running out to the parking lot. I stayed put and watched the overhead lighting fixtures swinging like a trapeze. Bring it. So brave. lol
