You brought back memories with this column. I clearly remember being in
the LLNL Bldg. 222 humungous vault when movement began. The enormous vault
doors were moving like liquid and when I went out in the hall people were
just stunned. Needless to say those who could go home did, since I lived
(still do) on Lupin Way, I rode my bike home and my grandfather clock had
walked itself to the center of the room, all kitchen cabinets were open
and my dogs took the opportunity to eat some of the frozen meat that came
out of the freezer. Luckily my home was facing in the direction of the
movement so I didn't receive any major damage. It was quite a ride though.
