We share a similar wonder and awe of the power of earthquakes. Remember one in Southern California, that moved a mountain range 6 feet east and I think 9 feet up, which is nothing compared to the 1872 one.
Have felt them on Mt. Tamalpais, one time seeing the earth ripple towards me, like some one was playing with a carpet.
The power of nature thrills me, excites and fills me with wonder.
