[ RadSafe ] Seattle / Puget Sound Earthquakes

[Chris Alston]

Which is, e.g., a lot of downtown Seattle, no?  It worries the heck
out of me.  There are a lot of people I care about up there.
Hopefully, a least the floating bridge would survive; if all the
bridges go down, how are the rest of us going to help them?

Cheers
