A span of the bridge fell into into Tampa Bay along with some poor souls that were traveling along the bridge in their vehicles. I'll never forget that day as I was only a few miles away.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408980791673021797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-57504068680311625172010-10-26T15:25:35.074-07:002010-10-26T15:25:35.074-07:00I can understand that feeling.

This crosses my mind, at least a little, every time I visit the West Coast. I was actually watching the Giants - A’s World Series game that was going on when the earthquake hit. We are not immune here. The largest earthquake to hit the US was along the New Madrid fault halfway between here in Memphis in 1804. It flattened a lot of St. Louis and, they say, rang church bells in Philadelphia.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.com
