A small sample of the news about the 17 January 1994 Northridge Earthquake:

1994 Northridge earthquake

The 1994 Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, at 4:30:55 a.m. PST and was centered in Reseda, a neighborhood in the north-central San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. It had a duration of approximately 10–20 seconds.[4] The blind thrust earthquake had a moment magnitude (Mw) of 6.7, which produced ground acceleration that were the highest ever instrumentally recorded in an urban area in North America,[5] measuring 1.8g (16.7 m/s2)[6] with strong ground motion felt as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada, about 220 miles (360 km) from the epicenter. The peak ground velocity in this earthquake at the Rinaldi Receiving station was 183 cm/s[7] (4.09 mph or 6.59 km/h), the fastest peak ground velocity ever recorded. In addition, two 6.0 Mw aftershocks occurred, the first about one minute after the initial event and the second approximately 11 hours later, the strongest of several thousand aftershocks in all.[8] The death toll was 57, with more than 5,000 injured. In addition, earthquake-caused property damage was estimated to be more than $20 billion, making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.[9]

I was about 40 miles (Palmdale) from the 1971 Sylmar quake and about 100 miles (Bakersfield) from the ‘94 quake.

Links in the comment section of the posting page for some reason do not display as links.

Why that is, I don’t know.

In case you did not notice the hot girl at 2:50 in the video, they put a big sign in front of her that says what she is.
