Missed Whittier thank goodness.
The couple memories I have from San Fernando were how when I got outside finally, was at 5 in the morning or something and I remember the neighborhood dogs going nuts is what woke me up before it hit too, there were literally 1 to 2 foot long period rolling waves coming down the streets and yards from the northeast , was in Northridge at the time (not for the big N).
And it seemed to last forever, a calm world became a shaking world as the aftershocks just came and came and you never knew when or how strong and there were serious attention getters going for months and all the time, we were evacuated for fear the Van Norman dam above us would fail, there wasn't a yard barrier left that wasnt cheesy wood and dogs were everywhere and it emptied our in ground swimming pool
I was within a few miles of :
