I wrote this story as a way to imagine what would happen after the next 'Big One' if we built a world where our economic and political systems existed to fulfill basic human needs, rather than to create profit for rich elites. #earthquake #lomaprieta www.patreon.com/posts/from-s...
Lots of mid upper 70s a few 80s
Lots of mid 50s on the other side of the ridge line
Same area is zoomed out
Incredible temperature spread between Scotts Valley and Redwood Estates, just 10 miles apart in the #SantaCruzMountains. Warm air is from compression off the ridgeline from northerly flow, while the same ridge blocks sun from the dark side of the range and cold air draining off #LomaPrieta. #CAwx
Only if there's an earthquake?

A quick #NorCal history note: During this week in 1989, my hometown experienced a massive Earthquake (6.9). When I say I’ve covered major American Upheavals, here’s an example. I was a staff writer at the #SFEx, the #Hearst daily in ‘89, not at the SFChron 👇🏾now owned by the #HearstCo. #LomaPrieta
#Earthquake flashbacks. The PR packs through the 🏡 & dad trained me w/speed to grab a bag on the way to sliding under a table was a 👼.

Hard to believe #LomaPrieta was 36 years ago
Happy anniversary to the survivors of the #LomaPrieta earthquake at 5:04pm.
It has been 36 years Since my heart stopped beating for 20 seconds. I truly thought it was the end of the world.
36 years ago, I was working in Downtown San Jose when the #LomaPrieta earthquake hit.
I watched skyscrapers wiggle like wet noodles, while the concrete outside the door waved like the ocean.
The longest 15 seconds of my life - I was sure it would be the end of mine.
Spoiler Alert: It wasn't.
Remember it like it was yesterday. Lived out in the inner Richmond and worked DT SF. People who couldn’t get home came to my house. My landline still worked, so the boss called and had me go in the next day to our condemned building and start the ‘phone tree’. #1989 #LomaPrieta.

Today is the anniversary of the 1989 earthquake in the Bay Area. I was a freshman at UC Santa Cruz about 7 miles from the epicenter. The town of Santa Cruz was basically destroyed by the fires that followed. #LomaPrieta #Earthquake #BayArea #SantaCruz #UCSC
36 years ago today, the #LomaPrieta earthquake rocked Santa Cruz County and the SF Bay Area. There’s a twisted redwood grove near the epicenter at the Forest of Nisene Mark. #SanAndreasFault

It was. From my vantage point on the elevated track I got to see the earth moving in rolling waves for what seemed like forever. It’s etched upon my mind forever. #earthquakes #lomaprieta

#MountUmunhum ( #UHmənum) is a peak in the #SantaCruzMountains, located in #SantaClaraCounty, #California. It is the fourth-highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, after #LomaPrieta, #CrystalPeak, and #MountChual. Most of the mountain is located within the #SierraAzulOpenSpacePreserve.
Monday. A strong #earthquake, 5.2, shook the areas around #SanDiego just after 10am #Epicenter- #Julian, roughly 2,000 residents. 1989-I was a 'captive audience' in the unforgettable #LomaPrieta earthquake,(7.1) #theGuardian #latimes #sandiegoreader #UnionTribune #worldtok

Nope. But was in M 6.9 #LomaPrieta in #SanFrancisco in 1989.
Whew. Glad that you (and hopefully the cat, too?) made it out OK. I was in SF during #LomaPrieta in October 1989, which made me Grateful for all the EQ Drills we’d received in K-12 SF public schools before. 🤣😬 #TeamNorCal #IYKYK
While postmodern gov-tech has enabled a “version” of quake predictability tools in the past 20-30yrs, it’s still the case that there is no way to accurately Predict a major temblor. I’m an SF native who survived #LomaPrieta in ‘89, the #BigBear/#LA quake of ‘92 + the #DC/MD quake in 2011. I’m wary 😬
Apparently his first quake was #LomaPrieta in 1989 (magnitude: 6.9)—quite the way to crack one's seismic cherry. His second earthquake was one I was present for as well: #Northridge, 1994 (6.7)
Was he just listing BIG quakes? Not sure, but his third was #Japan, 2011 (9.0) 🤯 WTF
