“”I was doing some training in San Diego...””
I’m surprised that you didn’t look favorably on San Diego. In ‘68 it had to be a lot nicer than it is now but even now with all the other problems, you can’t discount the perfect weather there. One reason we hated to leave CA was the weather. Everyone says, “But what about the earthquakes?” Forget the earthquakes. I prefer those to sleeping in my clothes, listening to weather alerts all night worrying about getting wiped out in a tornado or hurricane in GA. I guess I prefer being surprised. We had survival supplies ready in CA in case of earthquake but have no idea how to prepare for being blown away. I have a bag to throw meds, wallets etc., in for grabbing here but how long would anyone be able to hang onto a bag? Oh! well, what the heck!
They had an earthquake while I was there...I was in a gun store and looking at a handgun...All of a sudden people started running out of the store...The guy who was waiting on me jumped the counter and headed out...He stopped, came back, grabbed the gun from me...Threw it under the counter and it locked when he slid the door...He then jumped back over and ran...
I walked out the door and people were all over the streets...
I asked what is going on????
Somebody said, “We just had an earthquake!!!!”
I never felt anything...
I’m from the mountains of East Tennessee...We don’t have earthquakes, tornadoes (much), or hurricanes... We do have some flash floods but not often...The green mountains and trout streams are home to me...:o))
