Good to be back here. Well, my first year in college has officially kicked off with an earthquake that rocked the South Bay area. My building was literally swaying. Anyone else experience an earthquake and would like to share?
Circa 1980 I was working in the basement of our office in New Jersey (USA) with an engineer coworker from Iran. The building slightly shook and his face turned white. The office was next to the train tracks and I had attributed the vibration to a passing train. He assured me we were in an earthquake. The next day the paper had pictures of buckled sidewalks and cracked streets, but fortunately damage was pretty minor.
