WOW, you must have lived in Sylmar.
I was in that earthquake as well.
I remember being out of running water for a week.
And no hot water for a week and a half.
But I’m with you, no tornadoes for me, either.
In fact, I remember people talking about other areas of the country at that time, they all had some form of “hazard” to live with.
Unlike Hurricanes and twisters, with an earthquake at least your home and belonging are not blown into the next county...
No, I was in Alhambra, and I'm glad I wasn't any closer to Sylmar! I woke up to the bed moving across the room. I jumped up and ran for a doorway. It was the first time I ever felt the earth rolling under me, like being on a boat at sea. It's very disconcerting when the ground doesn't seem like a solid.
