What goes through your mind when the ground suddenly starts to shake beneath you? Join me, Tracy Wallace, as I navigate the unnerving yet fascinating world of earthquakes in this special episode of the Only Child Diaries podcast. Originally planned to discuss the back-to-school jitters, I pivot to recount my personal experiences with seismic activity, especially growing up in earthquake-prone Los Angeles. From the infamous Northridge quake in the '90s that turned my parents' anniversary into a memorable jolt, to the recent tremor near Bakersfield, I share the eerie moments when the ground rumbles and chaos ensues.
Tune in as I walk you through the terror of things falling around me during the Northridge quake and the eerie silence when the lights went out. I'll also highlight the invaluable insights of Dr. Lucy Jones from Caltech, whose expertise has been a guiding light for many Angelenos over the years. This episode is a mix of personal stories, a splash of humor, and scientific tidbits that make living in earthquake country a unique experience. Whether you're a seasoned quake veteran or just curious about life on the fault lines, this episode will shake up your perspective on these natural phenomena.
