The Hector Mines quake was bigger than all of those quakes but it was so far out in the desert that it did no damage. I recall a news cast about that quake.

We were living in Victor Valley when that happening, master bdrm on second floor a nd it shook us real good, and then we continued to have very good shakes for several months after that. The Film crew didn't look in the right places, I checked out a Highway bridge over the 40 out near there , east of Barstow and it had been damaged and twisted pretty good, ,,,,

Why am I not surprised at that. Why go to the trouble to do a job properly and look for real earthquake damage when it is perfectly acceptable to try and make a story about a falling jar of pickles.

I recall vividly the camera zooming in on the smashed jar. It was awful, broken glass, pickle juice, and slices of dill spread over two or three floor tiles. Clean up on aisle three! Oh, the humanity!!
