I was living on a boat on the San Joaquin river in 1989. I was a truck driver at the time and earlier that day had delivered a load of chemicals to a water treatment plant in the City. I actually drove across the Bay bridge and through the Cypress structure in Oakland.

I was in the shower on the dock getting ready to enjoy the game between the Giants and Athletics when the earthquake hit. The lights went out and the entire dock shook as it it had been rammed by a 60' trawler.
