Pyxichick? Mr Pyxichick? It could take him a while to get home between the crowd and the situation. I was at home when the Loma Prieta hit. Everyone here shares stories of "where where you when the big one (really a medium one) hit ...." Some East Bay friends who work in the city and SF friends who work in East Bay took over 24 hours to get home. Several just stayed where they were overnight.
Yeah, basically I guess we need a flexible quasiplan, more like nearest relative outside the area gets called by someone inside. Everybody else contacts that outside person, and said person sets up a phone tree as soon as there's any real info. Cuz you never really know where "the area" is gonna be.

I was here in Norway when the Loma Prieta hit, but I recall that the ladies who lived in "the old egg house" were at Candlestick Park at the ball game. They got kept there, I think, until enough was known about safe routes that people could be released out to their cars. So Mr. Pyxiechick may be safe and well, but stuck somewhere waiting for the all clear signal. Or maybe he's home already, but we don't know it because the Pyxiechicks have a modem connection and the phone lines are all snarled. Anyway, let's hope for the best.
