    I lived through Loma Prieta as a kid, with my little sister and my cousin. It's one of the most vivid memories of my childhood.
    I was in Santa Cruz (the epicenter) visiting my aunt and uncle when this happened. I was curled up on the couch with my sister and my cousin; we were watching TV half-asleep. It was warm and still, and I distinctly remember drowsily hearing the sound of the fridge door opening and closing as my aunt was preparing dinner. The next thing I remember happening was the sound.
    You ever had the experience of being in a building close to railroad tracks when a train passes? You can hear freight trains coming, and the sound races towards you, getting louder and louder. It makes you uneasy, even if you know what it is. It was like that, except with the fear ratcheted up to 11 because we didn't know what it was. The sound raced toward us at a terrifying speed and got louder and louder and louder until it was a huge roaring sound that drowned everything else out.
    I turned and looked out the front window, to one of the most arresting visuals I have ever seen: The ground began to roll in large waves that undulated toward us like the ocean. It caused 30-foot trees to thrash back and forth violently as it passed under them.
    Then the shaking hit. It was so powerful I can remember the 3 of us being literally tossed into the air and bouncing back down onto the couch cushions repeatedly. We scrambled to grip the couch, but the force kept tearing it out of our hands and we'd bounce up again.
    The entire house felt like it was going to implode: The windows began to shatter all around us, the walls swayed violently, and I could hear groaning and creaking from the roof above us. I remember looking up and seeing winking bits of bright daylight as the wall was separating from the ceiling with each wave.
    I could also hear my aunt screaming in the kitchen. She ended up the most injured; all her kitchen cabinets and the fridge opened up and violently vomited their contents onto her. She got a concussion from being hit in the head with something and was covered in cuts and bruises.
    The furniture began to crash around us, and the old-style 90-pound TV we had been watching skittered off its table like a scared beetle and smashed into the ground. A large bookcase near the front door flopped over, blocking the doorway, splintering and sending books flying across the room. The framed pictures on the wall crashed to the ground behind the sofa.
    The entire house slid off its foundation. I remember feeling it lurch over, and I was tossed into my cousin's lap as everything went sideways. Time seemed to slow; as the house came off its frame, it felt like slow-motion, and I will never forget the sickening feeling in my stomach as the entire structure slid, taking us with it.
    My uncle was on the toilet when it hit, and he spent the entire time holding onto the bathroom doorway frame. He could hear my aunt screaming but couldn't do anything. I later learned that this bothered him more than anything else; my cousin told me it haunted him for years.
    Once it stopped, I remember a deafening silence for just a few seconds, then suddenly sound coming back. My uncle was yelling for my aunt, and I could hear myself and my cousin crying. My sister began calling for my aunt. Thankfully we weren't hurt too bad, just a few cuts and bruises. The soft couch protected us, and no furniture had fallen directly onto us; we were so lucky. The 3 of us managed to climb out of the house through a broken window. We were taken in by a neighbor the first night because my uncle needed to get my aunt some serious medical care. Later my Mom drove down from Sacramento and got all of us.
    This was one of the most defining moments of our childhood. My sister, my cousin, and I still compare other frightening experiences to that event.

      You are warriors, all of you for surviving that event. My hat is off to all of you, all you kids and your aunt and uncle too. I know all you could do was hold on and ride it out, but you did, and that in and of itself, is pretty darn special.

      The Marina District should not have surprised anybody. After the 1906 quake, the city scooped up all the ashes and debris from burned-out Chinatown...including thousands of uncounted casualties...and dumped it into the bay as landfill. Geologists had already known that mere landfill doesn't withstand earthquakes, but nobody cared. They built the Marina District on the remains of 1906 with no bedrock. That's why it crumbled in 1989.

      You're such a good story teller! I never get the clear picture of an earthquake from these documentaries, but I can imagined it all just from your story, it really sounds way horrifiying than I had previously thought. Glad everyone in your family was saved that day! Thanks for sharing this story with us, I hope I didn't get nightmares afterwards though 😭

    I remember my mom telling me how they wanted to visit Mexico City when the first earthquake happened. Thankfully she couldn’t make it due to work. Fast forward 2017 , I remember telling her “I think you should wait to visit this year”, I told her history will repeat itself soon. It happened and she still questions how I knew. It freaks me out because I have no clue what made me tell her that.

    I grew up in Kalifornia during the '50s and '60s and the seismologists were just as surprised and baffled then as they were at the time of f this earthquake and still are today. They are much like climatologists, soothsayers, and professional guessers who are wrong more than they are right.

      Coz those people are psychopaths that view natural disasters as something amazing and doesn't really care about human's life, thus they're always "baffled" when they finally noticed the death toll.

    It really irritates me that these 'experts' insist that earthquakes are 'unpredictable' and 'strike without warning.' Maybe if they would let go of their egos long enough to listen to a guy like Dutchsinse, they might actually learn something. He has been forecasting earthquakes with amazing accuracy (more accuracy than most meteorologists forecast the weather, as a matter of fact) for well over a decade now. And all he's done is study the patterns of where and when EQs strike. But since he's not a geologist and has no formal degree, the people at USGS routinely either ignore, try to debunk, or censor him because they can't handle an amateur knowing more than they do. Sound like a familiar scenario?
