I lived near the epicenter of the Loma Prieta earthquake in California and that was traumatic. We only had broken windows and dishes and everything tumbled down to the floor from bookshelves but most of the mainstreet of our nearby town was demolished…and the bay bridge came down as did three homes on the street above us which came off their foundations and were totalled. We’ve had several smaller ones since living in Mexico. This one just cracked the cement so the arch and parts of the wall around my house needed to be replaced or repaired. Comparitively little damage. Oh, it also separated the two parts of my house so needed to do structural repairs on that as well.
A beautiful gallery of stairs, Judy. I love that cat in the beautiful archway photo.

Thanks, Suzette. It needed to be rebuilt and repainted after an earthquake 15 months ago. This is the redo.

Oh my goodness, Judy, I am glad to hear that you are safe after the events in California. Mexico sounds safer in that regard. You are very courageous.
