Thirty years ago we experienced the Loma Prieta earthquake.

It turns out the Bay Area experienced an earthquake 30 years almost to the day after the 1989 earthquake. My children and I were at the corner of our street in the avenues, I with my young boys and my daughter close by in Safeway. I didn't realize the anniversary was approaching but today is 30 years. I wrote an essay on the experience and won a dinner with the mayor that other people won as well. I invited my daughter and Tracy, a friend. It was held at an old, fancy restaurant in downtown San Francisco.
