Was in Pasadena that morning, and even there the Landers quake was a scary one.
Agreed. I guess it’s only The Big One when Arizona has beachfront property and the hate Cali crowd is doing naked cartwheels down the street, lol!
I was in Pasadena for the Northridge quake in '94. It felt like a freight train was motoring past my bedroom window. And that was - what? 25 miles away from the epicenter? I wouldn't want to go through one bigger, closer, that's for sure.
