I was in college, living on Fiji Hill in Eagle Rock when the Sylmar quake hit in 1971. It knocked a bookshelf down in my dormitory room and destroyed a nearby church.

I didn’t feel the Loma Prieta shaker here in Orange County.

Oh my goodness Fiji Hill!!

I am 84 and grew up in Highland Park/Eagle Rock.

We lived north of Hill Dr.

I graduated from Eagle Rock High School and our summer graduations were at Oxy!

I climbed that hill from the Eagle Rock Rec center to the Bowl to Oxy, many times!! lol.... The Sylmar quake took our fireplace down and did some damage to our home on Vincent Ave.

We did feel the Loma Prieta quake as a jolt.
