there was very little damage to
their hotel but the conference
was cut short because of the
quake.
Michiganian Jason Raitt
headed west for a job in the film
industry after he graduated
from the University of Michi-
gan last spring.
Monday was his first major
earthquake.
"This was the scariest thing
ever," said Mr. Raitt, who put
together an earthquake kit just
a few months ago. In his kit he
keeps flashlights, a radio, bot-
tled water, some food and
yahrtzeit candles — because
they burn for 24 hours. On
Monday, he used the flashlight
and radio.
The quake, which caused mi-
nor damage to his Los Angeles
apartment, sent Mr. Raitt from
his bed to a door frame, where
he stood for safety reasons un-
til the ground stopped shaking.
Mr. Raitt and his neighbors
then spent the next two hours
outside, huddled around a
portable radio.
"After the quake, no one had
power and it was very weird to
be standing outside where
everything was pitch black, ex-
cept in the west where you could
see flashes in the sky from cir-
cuits blowing up," Mr. Raitt said.
Shortly after the earthquake
was over, Shirley Lindy went
outside, where she and neigh-
bors comforted each other and
compared notes.
Although shaken up by the
quake, Ms. Lindy said she
looked up in the sky and was al-
lured by what she saw.
"The sky looked inky black
but there was not a space in the
sky that was not covered by a
star. Every constellation was
bright. It was a magnificent sky
that I was just mesmerized by
for a few moments," she said.
Bill Oleshansky and his wife
were vacationing in Colorado
when their sons, both living in
L.A., called to say they were
OK.
"This was the
scariest thing
ever."
Jason Raitt
"I didn't know what they
were talking about. I had not
heard about the earthquake un-
til they called," he said. "It's
pretty mind-boggling when you
think about what goes on out
there. You don't know what's
next. I'm just glad they are OK"
When the sun finally rose a
few hours after the earthquake,
Californians began to assess the
damage of the killer quake. The
sun also gave residents, like Ms.
Lindy a sense of comfort.
"I've never been so glad to see
the sunlight," she said. "It was
so dark and you just feel so
helpless in the dark. After there
was some daylight, things just
seemed less scary." ❑

ara Cytron's earliest per-
formances took place in
her family's living room.
She and her mother
would work up skits for every
birthday and anniversary. Sara
usually played her grandmoth-
er, complete with housecoat,
shower cap and Brooklyn ac-
cent.
She's playing a different role
these days — herself: a Jewish
lesbian comic.
A New York native, Ms.
Cytron will appear Jan. 23 at
the Magic Bag Theater in Fer-
ndale. Southeast Michigan
Pride will sponsor the evening.
While Ms. Cytron continues
to incorporate her family life,
Jewishness and relationships
into her comedy, her thrust to-
day also includes politics and
feminism.
"My act is out-lesbian
standup. There's a lot of humor
about being 'out' in a homopho-
bic society. But there's also a lot
