Comments on: What kept me up last night http://www.servingbread.net/2007/08/09/what-kept-me-up-last-night Thoughts, Musings, Reflections, and Ramblings of a campus minister, father, husband, and a Jesus-follower Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:45:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Tyler Watson http://www.servingbread.net/2007/08/09/what-kept-me-up-last-night/comment-page-1#comment-8358 Tyler Watson Thu, 09 Aug 2007 16:49:11 +0000 http://www.servingbread.net/2007/08/09/what-kept-me-up-last-night/#comment-8358 I'm glad to hear everyone is okay. I grew up in Sanger, in a region of California that is surrounded by earthquake zones (Bay Area and LA to the West, Mammoth to the East), but is itself rather safe. People told a common joke that when the Big One came, we would all have beach front property since everything to the West of the San Andreas Fault would fall in the ocean. What was your experience of the Bay Area Quake in 1989? Again, we were safe in the San Joaquin Valley. Some friends said hanging lights and hanging plants swayed, but that was about it. I was on the road at the time and couldn't feel a thing. The only thing we experienced about the quake was that the radio broadcast of the World Series cut out. Earthquakes frighten me, though I'll take them and their relatively rare occurrences over the annual predictability of hurricanes any day. I’m glad to hear everyone is okay.
