It was loud.

Aftershocks where like a train roaring past. You could hear it coming and go past.

Where I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains just had a broken toilet.

yep.. those hills have been sliding for decades

[faithhopecharity]

the Palos Verdes peninsula has been slipping and sliding for years.
unstable hill soil compounded by natural beach erosion

yes, the area will likely be hurt badly in the next big earthquake but this ain’t it

We went up and down the coastal roads around San Francisco when we were there for five years in the mid-80’s . The dirt is simply ground up rocks churned by tens of thousands of years of fault movement.

Every hillside has small (300 - 1500 - 5000 sq foot landslide slumps.

That section of RPV has been sliding since before I was born. It has been relatively stable for some years but the last couple of years with heavy rain, well, nature does what it does.
