Earthquakes and Tsunami's - ohmy!

1,300 have died, three commuter trains have gone missing, and one nuclear plant has exploded, and all I can think is: When will the next one hit SF?

I just over three years old when the Loma Prieta quake hit in '89 - I was watching Cinderella with my friend and the TV suddenly shut off, a few seconds later the entire house started shaking as two young girls tried to find a surface to hide under. After the shaking was done, we went outside to see the city in dissaray and up in flames.

Loma Prieta was a 7.1, nothing compared to the Japanese quake that is the largest ever recorded for the country, at 8.8.

I grew up with Earthquake kits, maybe its time to make another..
