Before the date changes, I just want to observe that today is the 22d anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake.
I was a 3L at Stanford. My first words to the Rocket Scientist when he got home were not "Thank God you're okay!" but "We are moving the hell out of this fucking state." 22 years later, we're still here, even though we did take a year off to live in Northern Virginia.
Quite frankly, I can live quite well without experiencing another of that magnitude, although I know given the way that geology runs around here that's not realistic. I'm just waiting for the Hayward fault to slip any day now. I sincerely hope it waits until the state gets the seismically upgraded new Bay Bridge completed.
