Public service announcement for people to consider downloading the MyShake app if you haven't done so already. It's supposed to send you an alert when an earthquake is detected, and you are in an area where shaking is expected. It can give you seconds or maybe even tens of seconds of advanced notice (depending on your distance from the epicenter), which can potentially give you enough time to brace yourself (mentally and physically).

We live in earthquake country in California, let's all be safe using whatever tools and technology is available.

I will have to check if my seat shifted inside CMS when I'm there for the Duke game… Lol

If you live right on top of the quake, the duck and cover warning can be amusing. It came a few seconds after the shake. When the Really Big One comes, and you are some miles away from the epicenter, the warning could save your family's lives.

I took these photos of the Cypress Structure after Loma Prieta:

My 50-yard line seat is now a 40-yard line seat! Do I get a refund?

Seriously though I was up and getting ready for work (in Oakland) and I had to clean up some glass and stuff that broke. Every car in my neighborhood on the street was going off too. Luckily my dogs were just chilling, I'm bracing myself for the next big one though

I sat on my Dad's shoulders to snap those.

I knew somebody who died in there. Very sad. Also where that heroic doctor (I think from Children's Hospital) got in there to cut through a deceased person to get at and extract a kid who was trapped in the back of a crushed car. A lot of tragedy and heroism going on in there.

I remember driving through Oakland directly after the quake, with all the traffic lights out, but homeless dudes out directing traffic like bosses. Surreal post-apocalyptic vibe, but heartening.
