Sep 2021

in Redondo Beach (about three miles from Carson).

I was five miles from the epicenter during the Northridge Quake in '94. It was a 6.7 and was horrifying. We had major damage, and I had PTSD for at least a year. Since that time, I've had my "earthquake bag" packed and by my bed everywhere I've lived through out Southern California.
