The bottom floor of an apartment complex collapsed, killing residents in their beds. A Santa Monica freeway overpass down.

Existencia — Seismic Sensations
At 4:31 a.m. on January 17, 1994, Southern California was shaken violently awake by a 6.7 earthquake tremor, what is now known as the Northridge earthquake. At the epicenter, Cal State University Northridge suffered some of the most serious damage and the campus gained the dubious title of having suffered the most destruction of any U.S. university from a natural disaster. The university refused to close, continuing classes in rented trailers and other makeshift facilities despite interruption in services, roads, and public transportation. -- Cultural Daily
