[TheForge] Napa Earthquake

[Ries Niemi]

I have ridden out a few six plus quakes. They are exciting. 
I remember the 6.7 Northridge quake pretty vividly, and we were working in the shop during the 6.8 Nisqually quake, which lasted 45 seconds. 45 seconds is a long time when the 80 foot tall tree outside is rolling 20 degrees left and right. 
biggest one I ever felt was the 1964 Alaska quake, which was a 9.2- but I felt it in Seattle, over a thousand miles away. It still shook my model cars off the shelf.
