Re: [californiadisasters] Re: One from the Vaults - San Fernando Valley Earthquake 1971 Sylmar California

Hmm. I really thought it was my mother trying to shake me awake for breakfast. I grew up in Gardena and felt the tail end of the quake as i finally did awaken from my stupor with my mother yelling from the hallway about the quake!

That was my first experience with a larger quake. At that time I was living on the East side of the San Fernando Valley, a few miles South of the city of San Fernando.

Most everybody I knew/know always called it the Sylmar quake.
