>>I was in Van Nuys. Felt like a giant picked up the building I was in and violently shook it. Afterwards, the apartment looked like a hurricane had been through it. I thought for sure this was “the big one.” And...it wasn’t!!!<<

In VN also — you weren’t on that building they had to destroy (after freaking forever) on Sherman Way and Sepulveda were you?

And I remember that exact thought. I had been told “The Big One” would be a long sometime in my lifetime. I do recall grabbing the picture over the bed and then, when the shaking calmed telling her: GET SHOES!

I too was amazed it wasn’t The Big One.

I don’t suppose you are old enough to remember KHJ’s “Mecca Shores” commercials in 71...?

I was in Victorville during the big quake there, 7.5!! It's my earliest memory because it kept shaking and shaking.
