MLK Day 1994 - the Northridge Earthquake

[question everything]

It was noted that thanks to the holiday there was less traffic.

We certainly felt it in Orange County.

1. I was one or two towns over from it ...

2. I live in So. California but we were on a walking tour in SF area

We had to drive home the next day. We took the 5 fwy. It took 12 hours, instead of the usual 5-7 hours because of the heavy traffic. Brutal.

3. 4:31 in the morning. It was terrifying. Pitch black.

Constant aftershocks.

4. I lived in Northridge

At the top of Tampa, and it was gnarly. I'll never forget having to use a port-a-potty for weeks after because of all the damage to our neighborhood.
