I thank her for the good things.

It was very scary. We lived in Huntington Beach, quite a ways from the epicenter if I remember right. At least here in NE, we get warnings to get to the basement before the tornado hits. And a tornado is the scariest thing I have ever been in, bar none. The devastation left behind so fast is awe inspiring.

The clothes closet had folding accordion doors which kept crashing back and forth, open-close-open-close. It was very scary and I promised myself to move and eventually did. ---But I had returned to California and was in North Hollywood for the 1994 quake. This time I thought I would die for sure. The quake seemed to last a long time. It was like a giant had stirred up everything in my house because things from the living room were in the bedroom, for example. Again, I promised myself to leave the land of quakes. --I finally have moved away again, and in the future I expect to return to California only to visit. LA is crowded, congested, a land of mental pirates, extremely poor public transportation and lacking greatly in culture for its size. Did I tell you I love snow in the winter? —I was there in Hollywood for 1971, I had my new baby Jay in his cradle and grabbed him.
