Was it earthquake, tsunami, tornado, storm, flood, or?

    When I lived in San Jose as a kid, I experienced several earthquakes. Including the really big one that hit San Francisco in 1989. I remember it hitting while I was walking home from a friend’s house and it was strong enough to keep knocking me down.

      This is mine too. I was six and lived in San Jose also. I don’t remember the earthquake itself but I have very vivid memories of the rest of the day, talking to neighbors, cooking dinner with the propane camp stove, candles, and hazy TV after midnight when the power finally came back on.
