Loma Prieta, 1989, was an experience I will never forget. You could not stand in a room during that thing. I saw an office worker, on a chair with wheels, get hurled across a 20' room and slammed into a wall.
Nothing to brag about, in my book. My B-in-law, your neighbor of sorts, paid a lot of $$$ to "quake proof" his home, and he could still be part of a major fire. They visit us, we don't visit them.

"Oh, honey," purred the wife, turning to her husband in bed "I felt the earth move."

"That wasn't me, sweetie, it was Mother Nature."
