2023-10-17 at 8:04 AM UTCI got thrown like a rag doll into a light fixture.
"This doesn't feel right".
felt like trying to stand up on a row boat, taking a piss while your rod and reel are suddenly pulled by a big mouth at the same time some drunken faggot slams you with his wake showing off on his jet ski.
liquefaction is real.

That's the worst story in the history of Californian earthquakes -

Oh there is a shitload more. saw people with broken limbs and bleeding from falling water pipes and ceiling pieces. the entire facade of a building came crashing down on a car that I saw and found out the next day a man died and his wife injured badly.
seeing the fire light up the sky from the Marina and smoke coming from Oakland side of the bay (which was the Cypress Freeway). partial church collapse in Oakland. I used to take the Cypress freeway right around 5pm and could have been on the lower deck when it happened.
Mom lost 2 friends on the cypress taking the Van Pool home. They were on the top section and it buckled and as they fell to the lower deck while in motion forward more deck came down on top of them.
we had a massive crack in the foyer of the Apartment staircase and the light from the outside was shining through the vertical crack while the power was out for 2-3 fucking days.
aftershocks for several weeks. the largest being about 6.3 the following night. non stop fire trucks and paramdics all week because we lived near a station house.
should I go on? had to drive 100 miles 40 miles south 20 miles east 40 miles back up to get to the other side of the bay because all the bridges were closed for several days. what was normally 8-10 miles turned into 100 miles one way.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-10-18 at 3:06 AM UTCdrove around the entire bay and crossed over the Golden gate bridge (which was re-opened in one day) and drove up to the Marina district coming off the bridge and the entire street taped off. people yelling at the cops to let them go into their red tag homes. almost every house had its garage buckled out and some people died in their homes and apartments there the night before.
there was several houses that shifted out when the bottom floor collapsed and they were sitting in the middle of the street. the houses second and third floor were in the middle of the fucking street. that was one of the oddest things I witnessed. also that 6. aftershock hit when we were in the marina at the Palace of Fine Arts park. sitting on the green with other people. just that sense of losing your balance. like fluid in the ear drum you feel dizzy and have to sit down. -

yeah we were in the park when it hit. it was about 10-15 seconds long but everyone started running towards the park we were in and the cops yelling "The streets caving in".
people had originally got so tired of waiting, one person ducked under the tape with a meter maid just shrugging like "What can I do" and about 50 people following them to their homes and the aftershock hit. perfect timing. wish we had a video camera back then of it. -

they said back then we had a 70 percent chance of the same size or larger in 30 years. been 34 years now.
fucking hell. and the 1906 was almost an 8. this was a 6.9 and 1906 size if overdue. and we're I live is the Hayward Fault line which produced a 7.0 in 1850s and is overdue. the Cal Berkeley football field is sitting on top of it.
Why you don't get in or under cars during a quake
