When I lived in Fillmore, my neighbor's family lost a lot of members on that day. There was also an Edison camp running power lines along the Santa Clara Valley (hwy 126) that lost most workers.
I now live just a few miles from the old dam site, in fact I can see the Castaic dam from my backyard (but I'm way high up on a hill, no danger).
There is also a statue called "The Warning" in Santa Paula to commemorate the police officers who rode around the lower areas of the city to warn residents to seek higher ground.
