I still have immediate family in Santa Cruz and Los Gatos, as well as San Francisco. So far, these have all been just little tykes. Even I was around in Santa Cruz for Loma Prieta. 89 I think. That was a fun one.

I remember it well, also...
The wife and I were getting ready to head to the local El Toritos to catch the World Series and drink some 'ritas, when the placed started rocking.
The worst part (for me anyway) was dealing with the numerous little quakes that followed for weeks after. Talk about living on pins and needles.

Gee whizzzz...what's going on over there is Cali. Good thing I moved back to AZ, even though I do prefer to be in Cali. I used to live right across the street from the Del Mar Race Track. Oh, the memories.
I live two minutes from the Santa Anita Race Track.

Oh brother, the memories of that time. I remember listening to the Series as I was standing in Valco Mall (don't think it's even there anymore really, or was ran out by Valley Fair) over on Stevens Creek Road in Sunnyvale. Opening game if I recall right. I was on the lower level of that dam* place when all hell broke loose. It was insane, yet in the midst of all, couldn't help notice many helping themselves to whatever they wanted then ran out. Couldn't believe it.
Then, the drive home (a rare day I wasn't on my BSA)...not wanting to stop under overpasses, feeling little tremors the whole way...no traffic signals...am news radio relaying stories (really before the lightning fast era of internet news), and the trip home, all the way over Hwy 17 took over 3 hours, only to get home to a total disaster. Unreal.

After Loma Prieta, I ALWAYS avoided stopping under overpasses when I could. And that was hard to do when I communted from my home in Milpitas all the way to Palo Alto each day.
It was a good day when we moved to Idaho in '94. I don't miss Cali at all.
