The Day That Shook The Bay: Tales From The Loma Prieta Earthquake

Life & Safety with Jimmy Rios

In this special bonus episode, The Day That Shook The Bay: Tales From The Loma Prieta Earthquake, we’re taking a trip back to October 17, 1989, when the Bay Area was rocked by one of California’s most memorable and destructive earthquakes. Jimmy shares his own memories from that day, which involved racing against time on his bike, dodging traffic (and the law), and a visit to court. He was just a teenager trying to navigate the chaos, missing football practice, and blundering into a run-in with a cop. Oh what a day!

It was a day when millions of people were glued to their TVs for the World Series, but all eyes quickly turned to the shaking streets of Northern California. Tune in and join us as we recount our unforgettable moments from the day that shook The Bay. Where where you when "the big one" hit? Let us know. We'd love to hear your stories too!
