You were in the big earthquake in '95, I take it. Did you come through it OK?
It was an amazing experience. About 4000 people died within a 10 mile radius of our place. Our house was on a hill, quite solid underneath, so wasn't damaged, though everything fell down. Even the refrigerator, which for some reason fell face forward with the door open. Quite the mess. Two other families had to move into our house because their's were damaged. One of those wives was overdue and had a baby two days later. No gas (which means heat and cooking), no water for weeks. I could go on and on.
