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

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

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
