1951, so i was 6.

I was also lucky enuff ( eeeeek) to be in the famous 1949 earthquake, which was 7.2.
biggest quake in the area till 2002.
I was outside in the yard when it hit, my Mom was frozen in the doorway of the house, screaming.
Made a hell of an impression on me.

I moved down south quite some years ago, and lost my house in a hurricane that came all the way inland to hit it.
Missed an even bigger one that hit this town in 2004, tho. Whew.

Then there was that volcano that blew..........

good times, good times....
