I don't think the earthquake was what everyone was cracking it up to be here... I wasn't asleep in class, I honestly don't know how I missed it. Maybe I was boudning down the stairs when it hit and just didn't notice cause I was going down so fast. Oh well. HArd to say. I know a few other people around me who never felt a thing either.

LOL. Must be the same laugh we hear from the right coast when it snows in SF.

But on a serious note, are you prepared for a big quake or other natural disaster when government services would be swamped? At least keep that in mind - store some basic camp items in easy reach.

check this site in SF for starts http://72hours.org/build_kit.html


- survived the Loma Prieata quake (aka the World Series Quake) in '89 when power was out for 5 days.
