I was at my baby sitters house in Newark, i was only 4 years old.
My baby sitter had went to the store so it was just me, my sister who was 10, and my brother who was 1. Great baby sitting hah. anyways, my little brother had knocked down a plant, and my sister cleaned it up. i wanted to play that game "shark attack" but my sister told me no. so i went to get it anyways, then the plant fell again and my sister was bitching and i stepped into the hall to get the game. thats when i felt the shaking. i guess my brother didnt knock the plant over the 2nd time it was the quake.
So we did what any intelligent kids would do, we ran out front under some power lines until the shaking stopped.
my dad and my grandpa were at the Series when it happened, my dad told me we watched a guy in the lights up top just hold on for dear life while it shook like hell.
that is probably my earliest memory
