I missed the 89 quake by two weeks.

Still, what a mess everthing was. Even lost the Embarcadero Expressway.

I was in England during the '89 NorCal quake. Had to call home half-way around the world to check on my parents and siblings.

Then, as luck would have it, I was in Baton Rouge, LA during the '94 SoCal quake. Called home again to check on the SoCal siblings.

I felt cheated out of my bragging rights both times. Weird, I know...
