It all rained down on the neighborhood I had just moved out of a year before. Glad I missed it, would have been a trauma I might not have recovered from given the house I lived in received lots of debris and bodies. I don't know anyone who lived there when it happened but I can imagine it was horrible for them, it was a residential neighborhood in North Park/East San Diego.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
