“1994 Northridge earthquakes...”
I remember all the flat-as-a-pancake highway overpasses and all the crushed cars and people. :(
I’ve been through a 3.0 when I was living in San Diego in the early 80’s. Knocked stuff off of walls and shelves and moved furniture away from the walls, but I just thought it was a very large truck passing by. I found out later from the Land Lady that it was an earthquake.
Back in 2010, just a couple of months after I moved here to San Diego County, a 7.2 hit just south of the border.
I remember hearing a train coming, but there weren’t any tracks near here! The walls started bowing in and out a bit and I finally realized I was in a good sized quake and exited the building.
I was ready to head back to Florida to face the incoming Hurricanes. At least I can run from those!
My cousin just missed being crushed by one of those overpasses. She felt the jolt and the overpass came down right behind her.
After 35 years there, it got so we didn’t roll out of bed for anything < 5.0
