I believe it was 8.9 and I meant to say 1994 (not 2004). January 17, 1994 at 4:31am. I had to get 19 stitches from lacerations I received while trying to escape the building. Ugh. I don’t like earthquakes.

The 1994 Northridge quake was a 6.7

If California gets hit by an 8.9 it will cease to exist as we know it.

Close...that's the Northridge quake you're describing. It was a 6.7 magnitude quake.

Did you feel the Landers quake from 1992?

At 4:57 a.m. on June 28, 1992, a very strong earthquake occurred in the High Desert of Southern California. The 7.3 earthquake was centered on the eastern side of the San Bernardino Mountains near the town of Landers in Homestead Valley.

I woke up probably 2 minutes before that one hit.
