On Feb 9 1971 at 6 in the morning, god put his finger down in the San Fernando Valley!

I remember that, RICHARD. My aunt and uncle used to live there and their house was damaged. It was 35 years ago.

Although I wasn't alive for the Sylmar quake, this post instantly reminded me of the two that I did experiance while living near San Fernando. 3 major eathquakes hit CA in a 25 year period, so Happy eathquake day to the one that started the trend.

Currently I reside in lovely San Diego where we get the smallest of earthquakes because we're on the fringe of some big remote desert quakes. One day we'll have a wonderful ocean view on both sides once the Pacific plate and North American plate finally decide to separate.

However, I grew up in Canoga Park and then moved to Simi Valley in 1990. The Loma Prieta quake caused some ground shaking when I was in Canoga, and then the Northridge quake really got us going in Simi. Quite an adventure seeing as our house and street moved a couple inches from the rest of the neighborhood.

Everytime it shakes out here in San Diego because of a desert fault everyone gets all riled up. I just have to show them some pictures that we took after the '94 quake and then they realize that they haven't experianced anything yet.
