Looking on the bright side, it wasn’t anything like the Oakland earthquake.

We survived that earthquake -- in Dallas. We had just moved out of the Bay Area, and our house back there was under contract. With all the crazy videos coming out of San Francisco, we weren't sure whether our house was still standing. That was a Jack Daniels evening for us.
It was three days before we heard anything about our house. Fortunately, everything was just fine. The sellers required an additional inspection, and the sale went through without an additional hitch. Kind of a sad in retrospect. That house is worth more than four times as much today.
Dutchsinse actually predicted an earthquake for the Bay Area this week. Lucky for them, he was off by 250 miles.
