Thanks for your obvious HUGE effort to get these pics posted - I got most of them, a few still had red boxes. VERY interesting.

But.....the first 3 emails I opened had this one them....

**Okay, if LJ wants to play rough....
Okay, LJ is getting on my last nerve...
And LJ can kiss my a&*%s!**

I laughed so hard - it absolutely made my night!!

So, yes, the pics were nice to see and I appreciate your efforts....but your comments are priceless!!

Thanks so much....Adrianne

Can see this, yay! but can't quite make out your message. I can read the first word Jack and the last word quake. :-/

Vicky, I really think that it's cool that you're doing all this meticulously researched work for your fic!

Thanks, Tes.
It can be cumbersome at times, but I'm just anal retentive enough to have to know if it's true or not. I was really bummed out when got an online newspaper archive subscription and found out that I got it wrong when Jack was telling Ennis how cold it was, but I figure Jack might exaggerate about that a bit *grin*. Now I have a spreadsheet of the high and low temperatures for the two years they will be there.
It's been really interesting, too. I'm more used to tornados (Louisiana) than earthquakes, but it was interesting to see how the damage isn't all that different when it comes to the hit or miss aspect. You have pockets of real heavy damage, and then places that just got very little. There was one picture that I found but didn't make a copy of, of a house that had literally fallen to the ground, but in the middle was the dining room table with the uneaten dinner still sitting there, nothing spilled and looking just like it did before the quake hit.
The power of nature is truly remarkable.
