I remember the aftershocks were the worst after the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The ground would not stop shaking. Very emotional and scary. I remember crying out one night to the earth to just stop. Can’t imagine what these folks are going through with an even stronger earthquake.

Do you ever have anxiety about it? Do you know if people are still effected by it even after a long time?

I was a kid for loma prieta, and I was TERRIFIED the house would collapse on me while I slept for years after. Then you know… you live through a couple more earthquakes and realize that with building codes and all that the chances were low of something super catastrophic happening.
