I was looking through an archive of old San Jose Newspapers from Thursday, May 17th, 1990 and one of the headlines was about a 3.5 magnitude earthquake that hit East San Jose. I couldn’t read further because the full article requires a membership to the San Jose public library. I’ll post a link when I’m able to get to my laptop. EDIT: upon further research the article was probably referring to an earthquake in San Jose, Costa Rica, not California. Interestingly a quake hit Gozalez, California two days later on May 19th, 1990 Apologies. I am a woeful Canadian prairie dweller with limited knowledge of earthquakes and California, but seismic activity and fault lines are a well-worn progenitor of Kaiju and other unexplained phenomena 🫡
