 The earthquake struck in the Greenfield Bay Area about 95 miles (152 km) Southwest of downtown Los Angeles. While the quake's epicenter was within Greenfield, cities in the San Fernando valley, like Northridge, also suffered major damages.
-== The earthquake ==
+== Damages ==
-It was a windy morning in the Greenfield Bay area. Residents woke up to get ready for work, while residents working the night shifts returned home from a nights work. At 4:30 AM. PST a large roar filled the city, followed by heavy shaking that lasted approximately 30-40 seconds. Damage occurred up to 95 miles away, with the most damage in the Greenfield Bay area and the San Fernando Valley. The area most affected by the earthquake were the neighbourhoods of [[Ashfield]], Northpark, [[Clinton]] and other central areas like [[Glenview]]. Many older apartment buildings suffered major damages, and even collapsed, most famously the Carrien, which stood 8 floors tall in Downtown Ashfield. Unfortunately, the city saw major losses; the highway leading up to the bridge from Downtown Greenfield to Ashfield partly collapsed onto the brand new marina under it. An old historic warehouse on one of the piers completely collapsed, and so did 9 other buildings. The tallest finished structure was the 12-storey tall apartment building that was right next to the bridge connecting Downtown Greenfield and Ashfield. Many buildings in Ashfield were badly damaged, and had to either be repaired or torn down.
+A large roar filled the Greenfield Bay Area at 4:31 a.m. PST. Followed by 40 seconds of non-stop shaking, The epicenter of the quake was in Glenview, This area, and others around it were the hardest hit areas of the city, and also the most populous. Unfortunately massive damage was done to infrastructure and buildings and it would take weeks, sometimes months to get back to normal.
+Power instantly went out after the quake, And due to the wind and shaking visibility was blocked by dust and debris.
+'''Ashfield East'''
+Ashfield East was struck hard, The ground along the fault line under Sherman Avenue moved up by a meter, causing buildings near it to collapse instantly during the quake. Multiple dingbat apartment buildings had collapsed. The Carrien, a 10 story theatre building right across from the Ashfield Train Station partly collapsed, This building built in 1921 was one of the largest theatres in Ashfield, unfortunately it had to be torn down after the earthquake.
+The bridge connecting downtown Greenfield and Ashfield had partly collapsed, blocking any acces to the eastern waterfront.
+The Ashfield  East Train Station also suffered from major damages, a derailed train made one of the platforms to collapse. Luckily most of these damages were repaired and the building was restored to its former glory. A large warehouse on the waterfront under I-40 collapsed due to debris from the collapsed bridge. This warehouse was going under reservations at the time to become a food market, later this market was moved to another warehouse on the waterfront.
+The subway station under the Train Station also suffered from major damages, Two of the three entrances were blocked off by debris from the Carrien building, and the station was flooding rapidly due to a burst pipe.

 Northpark, Clinton, Springfield and western Ashfield had mainly large warehouses and factories. During the first earthquake, many of these were not up-to-date and collapsed. A large crane that wasn't bolted correctly fell onto the nearby interstate [[I-15]], blocking the road for the duration of the week while engineers hurried to remove it from the scene.
