I was in Van Nuys. Felt like a giant picked up the building I was in and violently shook it. Afterwards, the apartment looked like a hurricane had been through it. I thought for sure this was “the big one.” And...it wasn’t!!!

In VN also — you weren’t on that building they had to destroy (after freaking forever) on Sherman Way and Sepulveda were you?
And I remember that exact thought. I had been told “The Big One” would be a long sometime in my lifetime. I do recall grabbing the picture over the bed and then, when the shaking calmed telling her: GET SHOES!
I too was amazed it wasn’t The Big One.
I don’t suppose you are old enough to remember KHJ’s “Mecca Shores” commercials in 71...?
