(Just the same, I plan to >sleep in my car tonight!) Just don't park it near a brick building, okay. I've been following the reports about the PNW quake somewhat because I'm noticing several difference between this one and the Loma Prieta quake in 1989 even though the magnitude was nearly the same. The depth on the Loma Prieta quake was 11 miles and that seems to have made a big difference. I lived 10 miles from it's epicenter and felt a *lot* of aftershocks, a couple of which in the 5.0 range. The scariest time was after the 7.1 quake just waiting for the next aftershock, and more specifically wondering when they were actually going to stop. The waiting lasted for several weeks. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
