Description
On April 25-26, 1992, three powerful earthquakes (magnitudes 7.1, 6.6, and 6.7) struck the rural Humboldt County area on the northwest coast of California. With their epicenters offshore, south of Petrolia, this earthquake created a great deal of damage to the small towns of the area, including Ferndale, Fortuna, Petrolia, Rio Dell, and Scotia. Local Cameraman Ross Rowley was filming a "Best of the West Festival" in the streets of Ferndale and had his camera rolling when the earthquake struck. He filmed during the earthquake, the aftermath, and held on the ground interviews with residents.
