Re: [californiadisasters] Anniversary Reminder--Sierra Madre

My family was living in Altadena at that time, and we were significantly
jolted. Plaster fell in the living room and roof tiles shifted, but that was
all.

On July Fourth, in Sierra Madre's tongue-in-cheek parade (with "floats" for
many fanciful organizations), one of the floats was for "The Sierra Madre
Inland Surfing Association": "Come catch the waves in Sierra Madre: 5.8 on
the Richter Scale!"
