Bruce, I'll bet you were near Hollister, which is South of San Jose, on California State Highway 25, and from what I remember, is hit by more earthquakes than any other town in California.

Radiano, I am curious as to how people can comply with the California Law requiring that they disclose that they are in a Seismic Hazard Zone when Geologists have not yet completed mapping out the Seismic Hazard Zones?

Does anyone know if there were broadside songs from the time?
