My mother lived through the 1933 Long Beach quake, and I’ve made it through the 1971 Slymar quake, the 1987 Whitter Narrows quake, and 1994 Northridge quake, as well as numerous other shakers. Hopefully I’ll make it through the next big one. If not, given the state of the world today, I won’t be missing much anyway.
71 was a great quake. That shook us up real good and most don’t know of it.
I was a young dinosaur at the time.
