Surviving an Earthquake

Betty Kelly still cannot cross a bridge without flinching.  Even now. 33 years later.  On this day in 1989, Betty and her husband were driving high over San Francisco Bay, just as an Earthquake struck.  A section of the Bay Bridge dropped like a deadly trapped door.  The Kelly’s honked their horn to warn others.   But Anna Annalonghu died.  Everything Adeen Murphy owned was 4 flights up a twisted staircase. Adeen had lived through a thousand air raids in World War Two London, so she crossed police barrier and found something she had bought only a week before — $2-thousand dollars worth of Wedgewood China.
