I was in the Russ Building on the bedrock side of Montgomery street when it hit&#8211;the building tipped back and forth solidly for what seemed like forever while we all ran to the stairwell. Later, we walked to a colleague&#8217;s apartment on Telegraph Hill, and yes, the sunset that night was eerily beautiful. My husband was in the Macy&#8217;s warehouse in South S.F. (&#8220;South City&#8221;) and narrowly missed having some high shelves with heavy stuff crash down on his head. Back in our flat in the Sunset, other than a couple of framed pictures askew on the walls, nothing was damaged. Thanks to this experience, I&#8217;m permanently sensitized to quakes&#8230;and bolted straight up in bed here in Madison just about a year ago (epicenter Ottawa, Illinois) just about a year ago.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit Chan at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookishgardener.com\">www.bookishgardener.com<\/a> (lots of interesting items, particularily the gardening posts).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremy Zawodny wonders if the Big One is on the way&#8230;.
