Personal Earthquake Letter From Garden Grove Daughter
A daughter in Betty Jorgensen writes from Garden Grove California about the February 9 1971 quake. She describes trembling beds rattling windows a shifting roof and continuing tremors throughout the day noting minor damage and that her Pacific Telephone building remained a shelter as freeway cracks and a bridge collapse affected traffic. She reflects on the power of earthquakes as uncontrollable divine will and shares how residents coped during the quake and aftershocks.
