The Big Rumble: What Happens To Noe When The Earth Shakes?

Liquefaction susceptibility. Red = bad.

Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake with events around the Bay Area like The Big Rumble. Many sites are collecting stories and we'd like your stories too. While Noe is entirely on bedrock, there was a whole lot of shaking going on. St. Paul's sustained near-fatal damage, and we found various reports of things knocked off shelves and neighbors helping each other. Best we can tell, Noe escaped largely unharmed.

Were you here -- what happened in Noe Valley? Please tell your story in the comments.
