I moved to the Bay area in late Oct '89. Does that date ring a bell? I just missed that puppy! During the next 3 years I expierienced a few "rides". The one that really got my attention was in San Diego in '92. I was onboard the USS Waddell DDG-24 and we were in DRY DOCK at the 32nd Street base. We always joked about what it would be like to have that happen and the possibility of the ship toppling over. Well, it didn't fall over, but whoa nelly, the ship was a-rockin'! I don't recall the magnitude but I remember thinking it felt like a LOT more. The fact the ship was sitting on 4'x4'x6' blocks had something to do with that, I s'pose.

Hope the damage and injuries were light.
