My phone rang in the morning to hear him say, "We're fine. We're okay." in a shaky voice. I didn't know what he was talking about until he told me about the earthquake. <BR/><BR/>I was in one like you describe. I prefer not going through another. While every area has it's own dangers, I prefer the minimal damage mother Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-46976630540542043742008-08-07T20:31:00.000-07:002008-08-07T20:31:00.000-07:00There is only so much in life we can control, so w...<I>There is only so much in life we can control, so why stress out over the rest?</I><BR/><BR/>Ahh, but then, what to do about my middle name?<BR/><BR/>Cowtown Worrywart Pattie?<BR/><BR/>Worrying is what I do best, can't just toss that away willy nilly...Cowtown Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384649567351202679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-44404644866710303912008-08-02T19:19:00.000-07:002008-08-02T19:19:00.000-07:00Interesting descriptions of your experiences.

I have been in a couple of small quakes with minimal or no damage. They still give you a funny feeling.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-21721615960087455852008-08-01T10:39:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:39:00.000-07:00joy: There is only so much in life we can control,...joy: There is only so much in life we can control, so why stress out over the rest? Certainly in the beginning I felt anxious, but in time I guess some of us become desensitized, but that's not to say we don't have heightened alertness as to our surroundings and actions to take at such times. <BR/><BR/>Construction building requirements here for many years have included consideration for joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-82784275968362903282008-08-01T06:42:00.000-07:002008-08-01T06:42:00.000-07:00Honestly Joared...I guess over the years you get u...Honestly Joared...I guess over the years you get used to anything; but from my view her in IL...I'm quite amazed at how composed you Californians are by it all. I guess that would include my daughter, Jory too. I'm not so sure I would be quite so calm and cool. Do those tremors do any structural damage to your house?

While that shaker was bigger than this one, this quake's epicenter was much much closer. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly, friends who lived southeast of the epicenter (I live north of it) and are native Californians reacted much as I did. I don't recommend having a blase' attitude and will try to behave more appropriately next time for my own sake.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-79959218633913556142008-07-30T05:39:00.000-07:002008-07-30T05:39:00.000-07:00Apparently you didn't have to make the nude mad da...Apparently you didn't have to make the nude mad dash and I am sure you're glad about that!
