from shaking underfoot.

I was helping set up a seismic performance evaluation business in the late '80s for an engineer friend, and another, different experience was seeing a big fault map at an LA County government office. It looked like crackle glaze -- hundreds or thousands of faults everywhere. We always thought of our home as such and such distance from famous faults. Yes, but...! Who knows? Wryter's part today may sorta been "personalized."
