Earth released its power.
Buildings shook and people screamed.
Humbled, we rebuild.

The Story Behind this Haiku
This verse was published after a strong quake on the San Andreas fault struck Ridgecrest and eastern Kern County. As a fourth-generation California native, I’ve experienced several earthquakes.
Earthquake Preparedness
If you live in an area prone to earthquakes, please make sure you have emergency supplies at home for at least one month, plus a Go Bag at home, where you work, and with your vehicle. An internet search on these topics will help you make plans for your safety and health.
