What major historical events do you remember?

There’s so many, and they really are not good, unfortunately.

As far as health or terrorist related disasters:

Persian Gulf War 1991

Persian Gulf War 2001

The COVID 19 Pandemic.

The January 6th, 2021 Attacks on the US Capital.

The September 11th Terrorist Attacks.

Also living in Southern California, I’ve been through several significant earthquakes:

1987 Whittier Earthquake (5.9)

1992 Landers Earthquake (7.3)

1992 Big Bear Earthquake (same day) (6.5)

1994 Northridge Earthquake (6.7)

1999 Hector Mine Earthquake (7.1).

We also had some very significant flooding and very heavy rains and other inclement weather during significant El Niños that I also experienced here in Southern California, California.

1982 El Niño event (previous all-time record for most rain in and southern and northern California going as far back as were kept.)

1993 El Niño event

1997 El Niño event (all-time most rain in most of California going as far back as records were kept).

I also happen to be living in Texas (Irving) in 2015 for what was at the time, the wettest rain season in the history of the state. I recall getting flash flood warnings on my phone for six months straight because the Trinity River was way over its banks.



As always, thank you for reading…
