January 17, 4:35 a.m., 6.7. I live in Northridge now and then. I will never forget that morning. For a few seconds I thought it was the end of the world. Then I heard my kids screaming “Mom.” Took a few minutes to get to their bedrooms. We survived.
This is also a big day birthday-wise: Muhammed Ali, Michelle Obama, Jim Carrey, Andy Kaufman, Al Capone (gulp), Betty White, Benjamin Franklin, James Earl Jones. A full list is here.
