I saw an interview yesterday with Judge Judy and they are now going to practice what to do in case of another eq. :) I say that’s a good idea.
Somehow as a little girl the San Fernando quake traumatized me and I never got over it. I never stopped under overpasses, I always had months of food/water in the cupboard with some in the car along with tennis shoes for walking, I always looked for exits when I entered malls, building or movies etc. I always had clothes and shoes and flashlight by the bed as well as my purse and car keys. Most importantly we had a family plan in case something occurred while we were separated.
I can say with 100% certainty that no one could pay me enough to work downtown in any of those tall buildings.
I’m in Texas now and have finally gotten used to the earth never moving. :D
That reaction is not a phobia, it is called learning and wisdom.
