[Boatanchors] Some Shakin'? Remembering Loma Prieta1

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Group,
 After the Loma Prieta quake in CA, 1989, there were after shocks all night long on a period of about one half hour.My family and our neighbor friend's familiy camped out on matresses on the ground that first night.We were within a 15 mile or less radius to the quake's epicenter. To feel Mother Earth rock you while lying down on the ground as if you were on a water bed is a very unique (and unsettling) feeling! 
 Power was out but telephone service was never lost. I was on the phone the next day talking to my Mom in N.J. when another aftershock occurred and had to say "back in a minute, another aftershock!" and ran outside. You never can trust an aftershock! But  the fact that the wired phone never failed is why I still keep a land line.

We've had two aftershocks so far. A 2.8 and a 2.2.
If you've experienced this phenomena, then you know that aftershocks 
ill continue.  At some point one of them WILL be close to the magnitude 
f the original.
I'm quite surprised that there has been as much damage in the D.C., MD, 
nd other areas north of us.
It continues to be watched.  Life goes on.
