[pianotech] New experiences

[Paul T Williams]

Earthquakes are freaky!  I was coming to a stoplight in Everett, a few 
miles north of Seattle in our latest significant earthquake in about 2005 
or so ( I came to NE in 2006) or so..don't remember the year.  The 
pavement turned into a jello like flow of waves, every light posts shook 
up and down.  When it started, I thought maybe somebody knew me and was 
tapping my rear bumper with their car on mine at the stop sign. I look in 
my rearview mirror and nobody was there. The pavement moved up and down 
like a boat passing with it's wake!  then I saw everybody running from out 
of their work-places!  It's very scary!!  I was at another quake at our 
family cabin also in Washington when about 21 or so..  Veeery scary as it 
just sits on pilons with no real foundation sitting on the edge of a 30' 
cliff to the beach!!  The land made all these weird wavey motions like 
water.

It makes a noise like a train passing through town, but with gusto!!! 

I didn't feel the one here in lincoln, but it was a wimpy thing!  Just set 
your chess pieces upright on the board, and you'll be fine.

The "big one" is supposed to happen soon.  Then California will be some 
sort of island!  I'm not kidding! We're waaaay over due (geologically 
speaking)

Now in Nebrasky! OK here!  Still miss the beautiful Pacific NW!!

They are terrifying indeed...........having been through the Sylmar and 
Northridge quake, the epicenter of which was a few miles from my 
house...........I hope I never experience that ever again!
 
Stay safe and well, my friend!

We have plenty, really. No trouble at all. <G>

Seriously though, I can certainly see how an earthquake of any real 
magnitude would be pretty terrifying.
