Oct. 17, 1989, right before the 3rd game of the World Series in SF, a 6.9 earthquake hit. Loma Priteta Earthquake. Caused a lot of damage and 63 deaths. Smoked a lot of cigs waiting to find out why the TV coverage abruptly cut out, not at all what we expected. . It was a horrible tragedy.
We felt that quake all the way down in Palmdale that day !
