27 Years Since The Northridge Earthquake

Somehow, I missed this.

Yesterday was the 27th anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake. At the time, I was living in North Hills, California, about 6 miles from the epicenter.  

The quake was so strong that my bed was jumping like Linda Blair's in The Exorcist.

From History.com:

At 4:31 a.m. on January 17, 1994, a 6.7-magnitude quake struck the San Fernando Valley, a densely populated area of Los Angeles located 20 miles northwest of the city’s downtown. The quake was caused by the sudden rupture of a previously undocumented blind thrust fault. The Northridge quake, named after the San Fernando Valley community near its epicenter, was the costliest in U.S. history, with damages estimated at more than $20 billion, and resulted in 57 deaths.
