this one was easily the most memorable for me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Northridge_Earthquake
even though I lived just shy of the area that received the worst of it, I would still describe the experience itself as extremely violent. Anything I've experienced since hasn't compared.
Interesting thing from the article:
| Quote: |
| Eleven hospitals suffered structural damage and were damaged or unusable after the earthquake.[7]Not only were they unable to serve their local neighborhoods, they had to transfer out their inpatient populations, which further increased the burden on nearby hospitals that were still operational. As a result, the state legislature passed a law requiring all California hospitals to ensure that their acute care units and emergency rooms are in earthquake-proof structures by January 1, 2005. |
