I visited San Francisco a few days after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. I missed the big one. However, I was sitting on the bed watching an earthquake report on the news from Berkeley across the bay. The person at Berkeley was being interviewed since she was at their earthquake center. At that moment, an aftershock hit that lasted about 15 seconds. The woman in Berkeley began to frown and the people in the newsroom began to frown. All I know is that the walls in the hotel began to creak and the final jolt popped me up in the bed. The aftershock was a pip-squeak of about 4.9 but it got my attention. The people I was visiting were in offices downtown during Loma Prieta. They were explaining how the Transamerica Building was visibly swaying back and forth during the earthquake.
