Wednesday morning marks 30 years since the deadly 6.7 magnitude Northridge earthquake rocked the San Fernando Valley. The catastrophic quake struck just seconds before 4:31 a.m. on Jan. 17, 1994.

KTLA's Annie Rose Ramos recalls, as a child, running downstairs with her family after the quake struck. “Part of our kitchen wall had actually caved in,” she said. Fortunately, Annie Rose says her family was fine but many others were not as fortunate. 57 people were killed and thousands more were injured.
