It was a magnitude 7.7 quake. Thankfully no one was killed. It just knocked down some power lines, and some roofs fell on cars. But im sure it scared the crap out of everyone! I read that there was a 7.8 earthquake in Chile in 2005, and that one killed 11 people, and injured thousands of homeless people. For being so closely powerful...im glad that didn't happen this time!
Do you all remember the bay area earthquake in 1989? I do! I was 5...but i remember!! I was across the street at Mike and Michelle's(at the time) house with my friend Lydia, and it was after school, and then the earthquake hit...hard! She put us in the doorway, and my dad was across the street in the doorway to our house, and he was calling for me, because he was scared...not of the earthquake itself, but because I was across the street, and he was so helpless, and couldnt get me, because the ground was moving so hard. My mom and sister were at City Hall. It sticks out so clear in my memory!! Crazy!
Where were you all? If you remember...
