And then I punch my time clock and as I put my card back on the shelf… WHAM!! Everything shakes. The lights go out. Complete darkness (there are no windows). One girl screams for her life. It was the Loma Prieta earthquake. /7

Age Verification?

I was doing my third grade homework when The Loma Prieta hit and we felt it all the way in the valley.
Age Verification?

I got home from school to see my dad watching the 9/11 news reports on television.
Age Verification?

The Soviet Union fell when i was a toddler.

5 classes from college:

Topology (loved this class, I remember very little)

Geology 101 (after the Loma Prieta earthquake

Thermodynamics. Hardest final I've ever taken. It was on St Patrick's Day, everything was green.

Sailing. So fun.

History of Rock. Mickey Hart was a guest speaker.
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college.

Physics 2 (whoa, FIELDS?!?)
Astronomy 2 (whoa, order of magnitude thinking/proportional reasoning?!?)
Origins of Life
History of WWII
Relativity & Cosmology

Related: Whenever I see pictures of the San Francisco Embarcadero pre-Loma Prieta quake, I’m just gobsmacked that anyone thought a double-decker freeway along a scenic waterfront built on artificial fill was a good idea, let alone something actually worth building.

This whole topic became crystal clear to me when it was pointed out during the reconstruction discussions that the elevated freeway that collapsed in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake had been constructed cutting right through a Black neighborhood.

Felt that 6.5 earthquake big-time in Mexico City on the 6th floor of our newish hotel in Roma Norte. Much more rolling than when I was in Davis for the Loma Prieta. 🫨 hope everyone is ok.

Beautiful geomorphology crossing the US-Mexico border like it's not even there. Westernmost part of the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge in SW Arizona, Sonora in the southern part of the image, can't find the name of the wash. Sentinel 2 image.

Saw a post talking about the Loma Prieta earthquake like its ancient history and… I remember that earthquake.
I was four but I remember.
And then after the earthquake my baby sitter’s house burned down because the chimney flue was cracked in her attic during the earthquake.

A scratched up slide of my sister and our late brother, on the Cabeza Prieta Game Range in Arizona, where we spent one Christmas in the early 1970s (it was off-limits for military training most of the time, but you could get a permit on holidays). We hung decorations on a cactus, very carefully.

Meanwhile BART took only *two hours* to get back to full service after ‘89’s Loma Prieta.

(I believe Muni streetcars had (or has?) a separate power grid before for similar ends, though overhead wires are still more likely to snap.)

Keep being confused at people I know going “that was the worst one I’ve ever lived through” and then I remember oh right, I’m old (I was alive for Loma Prieta) #quakesky #earthquaketwitter

Sometimes I watch footage from the loma prieta aftermath to remember a very vivid day in my childhood

has anyone done this yet
November 9, 2025 at 6:58 AM
Interesting… and — have you ever been on the BB when an earthquake struck? I lived in L.A. during the Loma Prieta & I can still see the video in my mind of the BB buckling in ‘89

I do not like them in real time. But as a California native I’ve grown up with them.

The worst I ever felt was a 5.3 and that left me feeling stressed out for hours. I can’t imagine how much worse Loma Prieta was.

As I slowly inch towards recovery from the flu I thought it'd be nice to share one of my favourite #screamo / #skramz #vinyl records. 'Hours' by Beau Navire is a beautiful, sloppy and heartfelt record.

With a pedigree that includes members of Loma Prieta and IWHACIYYB, it's hard to expect less.

Loma Prieta was A LOT bigger
