Oh yeah, I hear the Herc blow-up in '89.

(However, I am not sure my wife heard it over the noise from our 1 1/2 year old and 4 year old.)

I have a college chum (a Chem Eng) who was working there at the time and he has an interesting take of that event.

Interestingly, however, I felt the earthquake 9 years ago more than the Herc explosion, despite the earthquake being only a 2.1 (or something like that).
