Was the Loma Prieta earthquake really 35 years ago today? Some on these boards weren't even born yet or were perhaps in kindergarten or in first grade at the time, while I was already in my first semester at San Jose State (having graduated high school earlier that year)... man, I'm old! Among other things, it hit the Bay Area in the middle of the only MLB World Series to date to feature both of the Bay Area's MLB teams. In any case, where were you the moment the earthquake hit (I was sitting bored in a math class at SJSU in which the teacher was explaining how logarithms could be used for the Richter scale - I'm not kidding!), and how will you commemorate the anniversary? GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
