Subject: San Francisco Earthquake
Written By: eightiesfan on 10/15/04 at 7:37 am
The 15th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake is coming up soon. Does anyone remember where they were or what they were doing when the news broke?
I was at home watching tv (48 Hours I think) when they broke in with that story - I couldn't believe my eyes when they showed the bridge collapsing.

I was away at college watching the World Series with some friends. All I remember is looking at the skyline of San Francisco and seeing all the fires erupt from within the city. I also remember looking at the Bay Bridge and the freeway that collapsed (hwy 80 or 880?)

I was in High School at the time so I don't seem to remember it.

I remember hearing about it on TV. The World Series was going on at the time, between the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants. They had to postpone Game 3 for several days, as I recall. At the time, I was 9 years old, in the 4th grade.
By the way, Sunday will mark the 15-year anniversary.

I was at home watching TV and hid for cover as it provided a pretty good jolt. At the time I lived in Novato/Marin County and was a good 30 miles away too. Saddest thing was that my friend who lived across the street lost her dad. Her family sat there waiting for him to come home or hear from him and they never diid.

I also was living in Novato CA. at the time. I was on the Cypress Freeway almost everyday before the quake. It was pretty scary but the scary thing for me was all night long we kept having aftershocks and you just didn't know how strong they were going to be. My heart went racing as soon as they started.

I turned on the tv to watch the ball game and couldn't figure out why Roseanne was on instead. My boyfriend took me to dinner that night and that's when we heard about it.
I have a friend that was at the game. She said she was in the nosebleed section and it was the scariest thing she ever did. Still goes to the games, though. Rabid Giants fan, ya know. ;)
