Was in the 11th floor of a building in Crystal City. You did feel some serious shaking, twice over a 20 second period… Booked out with everyone ‘quickly’ down the stairs. Told an hour later that we had done it all wrong.. ‘should have stayed put under a desk or something’, he had spent 20 years in Tokyo don’ t you know.?
Fuck him I’m, an east coast guy and just wanted out… Didn’t know if a plane had crashed at national or a bomb had gone off..
A bunch of guys from the la and sf area that were visiting knew it was a quake.. And that it was quite a good ‘shake’ at that.. Thank the good earth that nobody was hurt.
Now the interesting studies are commencing.
What are the plate impact and movements going to do; far, far to our east? That island in the Canaries or something like that, can’t remember the name where if the eastern face falls… That could have an impact around heyer..
