Over and over for weeks after the earthquake, I kept thinking about when we were kids at the learning center and learned about earthquakes. Some moved up and down, others moved side to side. The up and down ones were more dangerous. I remember building little houses out of Lincoln Logs in on of the exhibits. We built them on a table that could be turned on to simulate the movements of an earthquake, and we had to see what would make the building withstand the force. With so many buildings that just crumbled in this earthquake, this is the image that I can't put from my mind.
