Your Loma Prieta Earthquake Stories

(CBS 5) Many people have been writing to share their stories about the Loma Prieta earthquake on October 17, 1989.

At CBS 5, we have many colleagues who were working in the newsroom then, and are still working here today. Reporter Kate Kelly remembers pulling up the station just after the quake:

"Our building was evacuating out of the side stairwells and we could see everyone out of the sales department moving out. People were all moving out except for the newsroom. You saw all the news people who were driving in going up the stairs, saying "Move aside!" and going all the way up to the newsroom. I can remember going up against the stream trying to get into the newsroom."

It's now been 20 years. Where were you? Scroll down to read the stories that have been posted, and to share your own.
