What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in South El Monte
Homes here are mixed in with warehouses and light industry, and two different chimneys rarely look far apart in age. The report still treats each as a single case, because a shared era does not mean shared damage, and the camera often shows the difference. Old cracks get extra attention here, because the epicenter of the 1987 Whittier Narrows shaking was almost next door. Santa Ana season can work a cap loose and carry embers, and hot summers with cool nights keep crowns moving.
