ON THIS DAY IN 1994

20 years ago today, a 6.7 earthquake shook Los Angeles. It's epicenter was at Northridge. Although, it had many fatalities and cost an estimated 20 billion dollars in damage, I must say that the city recovered well from such a large magnitude of a shake in such a highly dense populated area. The quake also resulted in some seismic safety measures which are still in effect today.
