how safe

As I sit in the car, under the freeway I wonder how safe this is.

I remember the earthquake last night. How often they seem. How they mess with my equilibrium.

I remember how the 1989 Loma Prieta quake pancaked the Cypress Freeway in Oakland.

My heart rate increases slightly. The light remains red. I see the railway crossing activate and know it will be another round until I get a green light. I decide to make a left and get out from under the freeway.

I wonder, should cars be allowed to wait under freeways?

Is a phobia developing?
