Jan 20

I had a cousin who lived there at the time. He said he woke up sensing something wrong but couldn't put a finger on it. The bedroom he and his wife were in had a bathroom attached and when the door was open you were looking directly at the toilet past the foot of the bed. He told me he didn't know why he woke up but he could hear like a humming or buzzing noise then in his own words he said " I couldn't figure out what was going on, I was staring ahead looking at the toilet in the bathroom and I wondered what the hell is that? is that the pipes in the bathroom humming? Then a split second later that goddamn toilet just exploded in front of my face like a fucking bomb and we felt the first shake. Nicole started to wake up and asked what's going on? I was yelling at her to get up, were having a fucking earthquake, we got to get the hell out of here. His apartment was only a couple of blocks or so from where that freeway fell and the immediately area where he lived was pretty much demolished, They had to find another place to live because the place they lived in then fell in the next day completely
