17 years past 15 seconds
17 years since the Earth shattered under Loma Prieta, and only the Giants and A's being in the World Series saved a few dozen dead from being many hundreds.
Loma Prieta Day.
I was about six blocks from the Cypress Structure when the quake hit. I will never forget that sound as long as I live.
So, where were y'all for the Sort-of Big One? If you're not a local, where were you when you heard about it?

Later I read Stewart Brand's article on his experience of the quake and its aftermath, "Earthquake Lessons" (http://sb.longnow.org/Earthquake%20Lessons.html) in Whole Earth Review magazine.
This is certainly one of the best articles published by WER, which is saying a lot. Everybody should read it, whether they live in a fault zone or not.
