My first quake was in SoCal around 1955. Just a small roller. Next one was in Oregon. The "Spring break quake" My latest one was in Westminster, Cal. in 1976.

I've seen the film...that was amazing. Worst down here in SoCal that I've experienced was the Sylmar quate in '94...at 4am, and "only"6.9. We're still waiting for our 8.0! For the unaware; each tenth on the Richter scale is 10 times strength. i'll still take my chances with a quake
as opposed to hurricanes or living in tornado alley, you gotta be pretty unlucky not to survive quakes around here. Apparently you're willing to risk it, too, lol...

I have to ABSOLUTELY differ with you. That was DEFINITELY NOT the Sylmar quake! The '94 quake was the Northridge quake, centered over CSUN. I KNOW... My house in Northridge was only 3 miles from that epicenter!!!
The Sylmar quake was in 1971 and was a 6.6 shaker. I know because my house at the time was in Arleta, 10 miles from the epicenter of the Sylmar quake. The Northridge quake was a thruster.
