I survived the January 17th 1995 Kobe Earthquake in Japan while studing for earthquake engineering.
Chernobyl disaster in my young adulthood...I was far enough to survive but close enough to have it disastrous impact on my life....

My family owned a pontoon boat that we used to take out on Cranberry Lake. The lake was once dry land with several meandering streams, and it was dammed up to make the lake.

This day, we'd been pulled up on the shore in an area of the lake reached only by one of these narrow, winding channels.
