NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE
We live about 100 miles from the epicenter yet it woke us up real fast. I remember sitting up in bed and my wife asking me what was going on. I replied "earthquake, and it's a bad one somewhere, probably L.A.".
We immediately called our relatives in L.A. to check on them but couldn't get through. Luckily we had a family disaster plan where we all call my brother in Nashville and check in with him (long distance lines were open but local lines were jammed). Everyone checked in as fine with no damage. We then began the all-day sit in front of the TV and watch the scene unfold routine.
Probably going to be a few sleepless people in L.A. tonight. Why? I don't know, it's just the human psyche I guess.
Where were you when the San Fernando Valley broke?
