I guess when your driving 80mph down the highway you dont feel it. But i was at home when the 89 quake hit a big 18 wheeler drove by the front of my house and then the quake started
When the '89 quake hit, I was on Pearblossom Hwy, between Little Rock and Pearblossom, driving an F350, at 60 mph, pulling 14K lbs, and when it hit, the whole front end of the truck felt like 'death wobble' for about 10-20 seconds. KLOS broke the news about a minute later.
I was in Lucerne Valley when the Landers and Big Bear quakes hit, only time I've ever seen the desert 'roll' like waves.
The '94 quake, I was scheduled to be in Chattsworth that monday morning,but the job canceled on sat afternoon, I would have been right at the 5/14 truck route interchange when it hit. (the one that fell down and a chp motorcycle cop was killed)
I guess I've been lucky
