First big one was Coalinga, I was on top floor of UCSB UCEN. The second was Loma Prieta. I was much closer to that one in Albany, the next town to Berkeley.
I was in Santa Cruz, Ca. for the Loma Prieta! Added quite a few new wrinkles to my face and probably a few gray hairs even though I was only 27 at the time!
Actually, the earthquake worked out well for me. I came out of it with a live-for-today attitude, blew $3800 on a Compaq computer, signed onto CompuServe, met a woman in Alaska; we’ve been married now for 29 years.
I know 3 couples who ended up together because of a devastating hurricane we went through. Natural disasters can cause unexpected things to take place.
