Wow! Thanks for the report. I started going there by boat in the mid '60's then flying in. Those palapas were very sturdy then. Time to rebuild. I wonder if Rancho Barril had any damage.

I was riding my mnt bike home from work and thought I had a flat tire. When I looked up Willow St in Alameda all the telephone poles were wobbling back and forth like limp spaghetti. Went out to the Cypress structure the next day to photograph it, very sobering.


I was out for a run and was in the Marina district when it hit. I had to get in a 3 point stance to stay on my feet. I watched a 3 story appt. building collapse onto the street. We helped some people get out thru their windows on the 2nd floor wich was street level then. The smell of ruptured gas lines was so bad I got out of there right before the fires started. Up the hill where I lived was fine. Only damage was another crack by the fire place to match the one from the 1906 quake.

Vince, this report is from ten years ago.




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
