If you were living in the Morongo Basin in 1992, then you remember the Landers earthquake, which struck on June 28. But do you remember a 6.1 magnitude earthquake that hit two months earlier on April 22? If you do, managing editor Tami Roleff says some graduate students want to talk to you…
Graduate students from Northwestern University in Illinois are working on an earthquake project sponsored by the American Geophysical Union in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey. They want to hear first-hand accounts from people who remember a 6.1-magnitude earthquake that was centered in Joshua Tree on April 22, 1992, and hit at 9:50 p.m. They’ll be conducting in-person interviews, collecting oral histories, and will have questionnaires for residents to complete. The researchers will be in the Morongo Basin September 11-15, and at the Joshua Tree library on Saturday, September 14, from noon to 2 p.m. To contact the researchers, see the information listed below.
