This morning, a magnitude 3.1 earthquake rattled near Berkeley — a small jolt, but one that makes us pause and remember that the earth beneath us is always moving.
Back on October 17, 1989, at 5:04 p.m., the Bay Area was hit by the Loma Prieta earthquake (magnitude ~6.9). It changed lives, collapsed freeways, and reshaped our region’s history.
This year, marks the 36th anniversary, and we pause in memory, respect, and humble awareness.
Share with us — what’s your memory or story connected to Loma Prieta?
