Thirty years since the Northridge earthquake

[Juneboarder]

4. I was there as well, on 1/17/1994.

Lived in Northridge at the top of Tampa, and it was like a warzone. We had port-a-potty's on our street for 2-3 weeks, houses up and down the block were condemned, many lives lost. The worst part was the constant fear with each aftershock that happened that day through probably a couple of months afterwards. To this day, I hear the trash truck outside and immediately look at my blinds to see if it's an earthquake or just an outside noise.
