October 19, 1989
Back in the city. Took a walk down to the Marina to see the burned-out buildings and make sure Larry Hing’s was still standing. (It was.) The power was still out in places, and a lot of streets were closed off, but by and large it looked like people were going about their lives as usual.
The extent of the damage in my building: no hot water, no elevator, no lights in the lobby or stairwell, and the fire escape is sealed off as a “Restricted Zone.”
