The 6.7-magnitude temblor, centered in Reseda, causes extensive damage throughout the San Fernando Valley and beyond, rupturing sections of major freeways, smashing parking structures and office buildings, and destroying apartment buildings. $23,000,000.00 in damage to the Medical Center yet services were not interrupted.
