Most of us never plan for the un-intentional immediate disruption of normal daily business, but it can and has happened. One morning in the area of Northridge California the unthinkable happened.

At 4:30 am, on January 17, 1994, residents of the greater Los Angeles area were rudely awakened by the strong shaking of the Northridge earthquake. This was the first earthquake to strike directly under an urban area of the United States since the 1933 Long Beach earthquake.
