My House after the Earthquake: #5
![[Picture]](kitch.jpg)
This was my kitchen. I, my family, my friend Doug, and any number of passing strangers braved danger to get inside the house and get all my belongings out on Wednesday, the day after the quake. (There were few aftershocks on Wednesday, but quite a few on Thursday.) The owners took the stove out (that's what was in the empty space next to the refrigerator). You can see the debris on the floor. Most of that was plaster that fell off the walls. Through the doorway in my bedroom you can see bare walls where plaster fell off.
You can see where the ceiling fan chains are hanging down from the ceiling. We put the ceiling fan up just one week before the place fell down. Figures.
