Just got hit with a 4.2 earthquake here in San Fran. Just a quick jolt but enough to spill my coffee. Angry

We have a utensil called a spoon and restaurants have these things called stirring sticks; just what's in the cup gets stirred and it's a lot less messy.

I love these little snippets of news... Wink

I immediately wheel out a suitable aircraft from my hangar and visit the Californian stricken area, quakes, landslides, floods, wildfires, etc, and with my accumulated knowledge of the Cal area, and the help of Wikipedia, Google street maps, and local news stations, I have great fun exploring the area!
One of the joys of Flight Simulation!

I remember this one like it was yesterday!..>>>
Quote:
"The quake also came almost 22 years to the day after the Loma Prieta earthquake struck the Bay area during the 1989 World Series. The magnitude-6.9 quake killed 63 people, injured almost 3,800 and caused up to $10 billion damage".
