7.1 Earthquake in SoCal

Last edited Sat Jul 6, 2019, 12:03 AM - Edit history (2)

Downgraded from the 7.1 to a 6.9, but now back up to a 7.1.

Our chandeliers are swinging, house groaning, at least 30 seconds. I ducked under a doorway.

Yikes!

If you’ve never been in an earthquake, there is this very disconcerting feeling that you are losing your sense of balance as the ground under you is literally moving like waves in the ocean. A little feeling of nausea.
