Nearly seven years ago, three powerful earthquakes rocked the city of Trona. Now, residents say 300 layoffs at the largest employer in town are perhaps causing even more devastation.
The town was temporarily cut off after the earthquake when officials shut down a highway because of rockslides and cracks in the roadway.
The roadway had endured major damage, causing havoc for residents fleeing the area following the quake.
