Opinion: After quakes in Turkey and Syria, how are Southern Californians preparing for The Big One? [Opinion]
I am 64 years old and was born and raised in Southern California, which translates into a lot of earthquake experience. I was in junior high school when the Sylmar quake hit in February 1971, and that is the most severe earthquake I have ever experienced, at a 6.6 magnitude. I was living away when the Northridge quake came in at 6.7 in January 1994, but I remember talking to family about the mess it caused.
We had to evacuate after the Sylmar quake while the authorities checked out the integrity of the Hansen Dam. We packed up and went to my great-aunt’s house in Eagle Rock for the 24 hours it took to get the all clear. I didn’t have to go to school for two glorious weeks until the building inspectors had a chance to check out the school.
