I lived in Sylmar when that quake hit.

I will never forget it.
Didn’t have running water for a whole week.
No gas for a week and a half.

Back then, most people thought we were being bombed.

Oh yes, how well I remember the Sylmar quake. We lived in Eagle Rock and most all of the older homes here lost fireplaces, and many like us, lost our porch.

I don't think that anyone who was in L.A. county on that day will ever forget it. I lucked out in '94 and was in Baton Rouge when the Northridge quake hit.

I was actually en route back to Cali from Florida. Got home a few days later and construction work had exploded. It didn't stop for years afterward.
