		celticvoice	HA! great find! Yah I was in a parking lot in the peninsula not far from Candlestick. For a while (mebbe 20 minutes) after the shaking stopped the only radio station on the air was KSFO! the A's station - Bill King and Lon Simmons (the announcers) had to wing it . . . both local "all news" stations were knocked off and one was the local CBS station which had the radio W Series broadcast. I was watching out the dooor while the world jumped and shook - I tho't my car was going to start bouncing any minute. Then KSFO started getting reports of "the Cypreess Structure: collapsing - that a phrase I had never heard but learned to dread (that was the double decked part of Hwy 17 leading to the Bay Bridge that pancaked) and then the possibility that the Bay Bridge had lost a section of deck - they didn't substantiate much for HOURS. I used to have the emergency edition of the SF Chronicle that came out. Thousands of lives were saved by virtue of the World Series 5:00 start time! TRULY!
		celticvoice	We listened to the radio all night on battery (no electricity for almost 12 hours), took hours to reach evryone, dial tone took maybe 10-20 minutes (punch "speakerphone", sit and wait your turn at a port for dial tone on the computerized switch!). Really terrifying!
