Jim, I'm surprised I did not know there had been an earthquake, considering its magnitude. When I got home from the grocery store, even my housebound dogs were calm. A picture I had not attached to the wall had fallen, and that was the extent of my "damage" At around 8:00 that evening, my aunt called me from Southern California and asked if I was all right. Something in her voice made me wonder why she would ask that question. She told me there had been an earthquake. I replied that we were always having those "rumbles" in California and it was nothing she should worry about. She told me it was a little more than a "rumble," and I should turn on my TV, which I did, and I didn't turn it off until the fall of the Berlin Wall, which came to take over the airways at the time. - Holly
