[Boatanchors] Some Shaking Going On??

[Robert Fish]

A good measure of earthquake strength is were you able to stay on  your 
feet. The strong ones will knock you over.
I was a bartender at a golf course near Morgan Hill, Ca. (northern Ca) 
during one of our stronger earthquakes back in the middle '80s.
When it finished shaking, I stood back up from behind the bar and looked 
out through a big bay window onto the golf course and saw
women golfers rolling around on the ground as far as the eye could see. 
(it was ladies day). 30 years later and it still gives me a chuckle.
The bar did a brisk business for the remainder of the afternoon.
