What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Fountain Valley
Tract building filled this old farmland in a short window, and very little here is older than 1950. A narrow era like that makes differences easy to spot, so a report points out what changed from one year's construction to the next. Wet winters and an old fault nearby to the southwest shape the checklist, with the Newport-Inglewood the source of the 1933 quake. Santa Ana gusts can strip caps, while mild winter lows mean frost rarely enters into it.
