Article in The Guardian reminded me that today is the anniversary of the 1994 #Northridge #earthquake. I was living in Redondo Beach area at the time and was thrown from my bed at 4:30am to the sound of dogs barking and car alarms. My roommate yelling “weeee it’s the big one” as he and his dog rode the waves in his water bed.

The quake was the last straw. The previous 4 years in LA had been a nightmare (Rodney King’s brutal assault, OJ, fires, etc, etc) and after the earthquake I decided to abandon the California dream; by the following year I was back on the East coast.

I just realized today is the 30th anniversary of the #Northridge #earthquake . I was living right on the ocean southwest of L.A.—in a skinny, 3-story house built on sand—at the time. My bedroom was on the 3rd floor, & I slept w/ the windows open to the ocean. I’d just gotten up to wee when the quake happened—I was on my way back to bed when I heard what sounded like a freight train bearing down on me. Then my house started twisting so hard I was unable to stand in it. +

This shot of a Kaiser Permanente clinic in Granada Hills; no doubt lives were saved because the quake hit so early in the morning. #losangeles #earthquake #northridge #photography

Who remembers Northridge Mall in its heyday?

I have to leave Mastodon to get info, though, because text searches aren't possible here, and people either won't remember to use hashtags or aren't using the exact same ones.

On this beautiful day we are so happy to be at the #NorthridgeFarmersMarket! We are offering #PermanentJewelry and of course our handmade #earrings and #necklaces. There's good food, live music and so much more to experience. #Northridge #FarmersMarket
