I lived in SoCal. My girlfriend woke me up with the first plane, and I too waved it off, thinking about the 1945 B-25 crash into the ESB. I went back to sleep. She roused me with the second plane, I got up. I didn't have a TV so I went over to the bar next door to watch there. It was horrifying.
I lived less than 1/4 mile from the PV Gate at NBVC Port Hueneme. The port itself was also of commercial use, and was the only deep-water port between Long Beach and San Francisco. I was definitely concerned, as I lived less than a mile from the quaysides.
