1994 Northridge Quake: 17 year anniversary this year on the 17th day of January
Do you think there is any significance to this?

17 years ago on MLK day, on 1/17/94, the quake hit.

Well, thankfully I was NOT there, but I'd surely get my ass rocked with a quake that size in Oxnard. My mom is in Northridge, so she's well prepared for the day we get another one.

Re: 1994 Northridge Quake: 17 year anniversary this year on the 17th day of January
The day before,a saturday, there was an accident involving two pick up trucks, in downtown LA, were the two drivers started shooting at each other with semi-automatic weapons. The men moved into a federal building near by and the police started pursuing the men. I was in the buildings patio watching it all unfold until a police man told my father and I (I was about 10 yrs old) to leave the scene, lol I remember the police man's face, he was really scared. We had to run through the patio as the police men and the two suspects had their firefight. As we tried to leave we saw that the swat team had been called in. I remember my father and I waiting to watch the story on the evening news but they never did show it. We expected to see the story on the morning news for sure but the earthquake happen, doooommm!!!!

I've also read (and anyone who remembers can clarify), but the weather in the 2-4 days prior was very warm for winter, in January.

Has it NOT been unusually warm the last 2-3 days???

It was warm and I also remember it being foggy after the eq, mostly in the valley. But then again my memory isnt that good since I just read that the day before the eq was a sunday and not a saturday like I "remembered". Maybe I had one of those glp timeline shifts!!!

you've just been in the right places at the right times, huh? 2 mag 6+ earthquakes in 16 years, yikes!

i fear that the day i feel a large one, i might bail out of california and never come back. i've never felt anything strong here, the strongest i felt was the chino hills quake a couple years ago, and i was quite far from the epicenter.

I *was* in Oxnard for the Northridge Quake and it was an extremely violent, disturbing quake... and I had been in 3 other 7+ mags (about 20 to 50 miles from epicenter) prior to that one, so I know what a big EQ jolt feels like.

Northridge was still the most disturbing quake I have EVER been through in my life.. even though they rated it only 6.7 or so.

felt more like a 7.8.

IT WAS AWFUL!!

Don't forget that big Japan EQ (Kobe Quake) that happened exactly one year later on Jan 17, 1995:

to the day!

I was in Glendale and I thought the fucking world was ending! My bookcase fell in front of my bedroom door, pitch black so I couldn't get out, something hit me in the head and it just wouldn't stop shaking...

I won't lie, I screamed like a little bitch.
Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Remember it well.

Pitch dark.

Lived in the hillside and when outside. There was so much dust falling it looked like fallout. We were literally bounced up from the bed like being on a trampoline. Slept downstairs for two weeks.

"The Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, 1994 at 4:31 AM Pacific Standard Time in Reseda, a neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, California, lasting for about 45 seconds.[1] This was a holiday Monday - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The earthquake had a "strong" moment magnitude of 6.7, but the ground acceleration was one of the highest ever instrumentally recorded in an urban area in North America.[2]"

They lowered it to a 6.9 but day of they said it was 7.4....funny thing was, most homeowners insurance only paid out on a 7.0 at the time. The official ruling was 6.9 or 6.7....either way, people were pissed
