To this day I remember the distant rumbling for seconds before the apartment lurched, sending hot cooking oil into a fire on the stove; artwork literally flying off the walls; the concrete floors rippling in matter-defying waves; and the water in the apartment building’s swimming pool crashing up, out of the pool, against the building’s walls. I can’t believe it was 15 years ago today, but images like this, this, and this are still burned in my memory.
