the dam evacuation. Serious business for you for sure.

I still feel regret from 1994's tho. I was down in town instead of at home and excited to watch the waves of earth movement pass along a long block of condo buildings, rolling up and down, up and down down the block. Until I learned that my next-door neighbor had a balcony view from her living room of the Verdugo Mountains in front of us rolling with each wave passing through.

I never got to see a whole mountain range roll.

And here in GA for sure hope it never happens! Our CA neighborhood of old bungalows had withstood 80 and more years of quakes, and contents were behind doors, bolted to the walls or stuck down with earthquake putty, so earthquake excitements weren't inside. I shudder to imagine what a smaller quake would do here in the east.
