I felt the Northridge quake pretty good down here. 80’s and early 90’s there were quite a few out by El Centro and the Salton Sea that were pretty big and we rolled pretty good down here but other then that I can’t remember really having a big shaker down here. I guess San Diego has been pretty lucky, we don’t really have any major faults in the city/county except for maybe the Rose Canyon fault. Our luck will run out someday though.
I was in the SFBA for Loma Prieta. I was on bedrock, passing over Kirker Pass between Concord and Pittsburg when it hit. I didn’t feel it. My Dad lived in Cow Hollow in the City though. I took the next day off to go look for him. That turned into a real adventure.
I’d just driven a truck over the Cypress Structure (that pancaked) earlier that same day.
