Worked the 1989 Loma Prieta quake in the San Francisco Bay Area as W6YX. Drove, then ran out to the station, we were on the air about an hour after the quake hit, and aftershocks were still frequent. My girlfriend (now wife) and I set up the generators, fired up the radios, and worked pileups for the next four hours, until the relief ops showed up.
Cellphones were useless; aside from the tower collapses, AT&T's primary route fiber out of San Francisco ran under the lower deck of the Bay Bridge, and was cleanly cut when that section collapsed.
