Didn't take any. In the good old days, film was expensive and people didn't document every event every time.
I still don't (have a flip phone).
Extensive cracks in the plaster at the walls in the main floor are due to torsional twisting on the foundation. 1926 house with plaster on lath construction. Spanish tile roof. No actual structural damage, and dad had the foundation sills anchored down afterwards.
I was in the house at the time and it was a loooong event. Long enough for us to get downstairs, get into the front yard, and watch the house shake.
Remember it like yesterday.
StillTalkingShit, on Bayfarm Island, didn't feel anything because it's all landfill and mush. All that Mercury, PCB's, and Methylethylketone in the area explain a LOT about his spelling errors and erratic viewpoints.
