Luckily my tripod got wedged in the hole and I didn't go all the way through (30 foot drop onto rebar).

Jesus Christ. Glad you're still with us.

I remember the Oct. 17 Loma Prieta earthquake very clearly. I remember the fires in the Marina District of SF, the bay bridge collapse, the Cypress freeway pancaking, and I remember walking around SF seeing brick buildings just gutted and fallen apart.

How much general progress has the west coast made in terms of earthquake retrofitting in the past ~30ish years or so? If/when we get another ~7ish earthquake in a major metro area, can we feel relatively safe that our day-to-day life won't be interrupted for more than a day or so?
