the little ones! I don't live in SF anymore but now I get hurricanes instead. I was a sophomore at Menlo College when Loma Prieto hit. That one, I wish I has missed! LOL. But the following week was a pretty solid earthquake party because they had to close the campus until engineers inspected all the buildings.
