I survived Loma Prieta as well as countless others, far more survived than did not. Besides everyone knows that anything built on sand is a disaster and tradgedy waiting to happen (bye, bye pretentious Marina district). Multi-million dollar homes on sand land fill. Clever.

It's going to take at least a 7.5 8.0 to really bring down modern SF. Once I was on the Muni underground during one. That was weird. Nice to see everyone remained calm and exited above ground without panic. Course, a 5.0 or 6.0 isn't going to jar too many natives anyway. Leave that to the tourists.

Thanks, that calmed me down...
I hope the Hayward fault doesn't go, because that one is essentially right next to my house....It hasn't gone since 1856 or something...

- I know, the Marina! Bwah! I shouldn't giggle a little, but I am....
