I remember my first earthquake October 17 1989
Being only 5 and a half I wasn't that scared and didn't thin much of it other than the power going out and it taking a long time to get through San Francisco. It wasn't until years latter than I learned how much was destroyed.

I was at the IBM Almaden Research Centre at that time. The epicentre of that earthquake turned out to be under the hill next to the research centre..
