I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.
Recuerdo cuán espantoso era ver el candelabro que colgaba sobre la mesa de nuestro comedor columpiarse de un lado a otro durante cada terremoto menor, y a veces no podía conciliar el sueño, aterrada por que uno mayor ocurriese mientras dormíamos.
