 I see no reason to be right on the epicenter. I'd like to be half a mile away. Yeah, half a mile away. Okay, I was 20 miles away from the epicenter of the 7.1 World Series quake, and that's the only quake that ever frightened me. But ironically, I was just heading out the door. I was on the seventh floor of the county building here in Santa Clara County in San Jose.
