Quote HistoryQuoted: Was that a motorcyclist on the bridge when it collapsed? Talk about shitty timing. It was a moto officer that never saw the bridge had collapsed ahead of him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I believe so, now that you mention it. In fact, IIRC that was one of the first confirmed fatals. 90 seconds to sheer terror. There’s not a damn thing you can do until the ground stops swimming beneath your feet. The natural gas fires started almost immediately and burned for days. At night, the entire LA Basin was lit by firelight. Aftershocks went on for months, and some big ones too. I was close to the initial epicenter. I really, truly thought that was it for me. 1994, holy shit. Where has the time gone. Northridge? I grew up in central CA and wasn’t too far from the epicenter of the Loma Prieta quake in 89. It was fucking wild. Was thru plenty of 4-5’s prior to that, but a 7+ is a whole different animal. Never have I seen streets of asphalt look like they were built upon the top of the ocean. The ability to flex and wave like they did was amazing to see in person. Good luck to the people of Japan. They are gonna need it. |

Once I finally got home and crashed into bed, I felt like I’d been on an offshore fishing boat all day. My head wouldn’t stop swimming. The emergency work went on for weeks. I saw some pretty awful stuff. |

I was in the Solano Mall in California in 1996, was in a CD store when all the discs started rattling in the racks. Looked around, nobody else even looked up. Fuck this, I left.
At Travis AFB they figured out most of the dorms were built on a fault line. THAT was encouraging. |

We tried doing 30-minute naps in shifts every 6-8 hours, but there was no sleeping through that. None of us got much sleep for the first several days. Tall buildings sway, and once they start swaying it takes a while for them to quit swaying. But if that same building is constantly being shaken by aftershocks, it never stops swaying until the aftershocks stop. Or at least decrease in frequency and magnitude. In the days/weeks that followed we saw a lot of loss and sorrow. People who’s only crime was to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, it was a tough deal. And not one that I’d like to do over again. |

Personally the bigger and by bigger I've only experienced a 5.6 are better than the after shocks. After the one we had a couple years back where we had thousands of after shocks It was like 2 months before I could go to sleep without booze. The day I decided I needed to go without they had a big one up in Idaho that I felt. I felt a lot of the ones below 2.0. I didn't sleep well for months. I fucking hate earthquakes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Exactly. The one near Palm Springs 1986, I was sleeping on a carpeted concrete floor. I woke up ready to fight whoever was shaking my rack. It was a 6.0. I have experienced many of them. The 1992 Landers quake, a 7.3, I was just north of Barstow. Massive trees were rocking, water sloshed out of the pool. Lots of cabins at Big Bear Lake lost chimneys. I was in the basement of the American Legion in Orange County CA when a good shaker came about. It shook again the next day at breakfast, lamps were rocking, pool water sloshed. Ridgecrest 7.1. I need to stay the fuck out of California. @wildearp This was my aunt and uncles house in landers from the air.. you can see the fault going through the back yard and the yard moved over 6-7ft. My dad and I went out there a week or two later to help them clean up and bring stuff to them... there were constant aftershocks and every time youd almost fall asleep one would hit and wake you backup.
