When the Whittier Narrows quake occurred in the late 1980s, I was working a secretarial job in West L.A. in a ten story building. Nobody said not to come in, so I drove in from Long Beach. There were aftershocks. I thought it perhaps prudent to leave. Everyone thought that was silly. However, when the news came in that someone had been killed by a collapsing garage, several people went to move their cars to the street.
