9. She is scaring the hell out of me.

I am seeing the West Coast slipping into the Pacific.

[IcyPeas]

10. she is very good

I remember her from way back during Northridge too.

don't be scared.... just be prepared. honestly, I would rather this than tornadoes

[TruckFump]

11. Yeah, she is good...but still scary!

I, too, remember her.

Wow, what a choice...7.1 earthquake or a tornado!!!!!

4. Back to 7.1

Closer to LV than LA. ENE of Bakersfield.

[TruckFump]

13. Saw that on a map and surprised...no wonder LV felt is so much.

Area is about 115 from LA Central, but I sure as heck felt it. I am about 15 miles south of LAX on the 405.

2. Yesterday was just the opening act.

Yesterday was Yngwie Malmsteen, today was Iron Maiden.

[TeamPooka]

6. felt bigger than yesterday as we went through it. Lots of shaking vs the swaying of

yesterday.
and we're 125 miles away from the epicenter on the beach near Ventura

[dhill926]

7. nice shake on the coast in Ventura....

these long rolling ones are eerie though...

[sakabatou]

8. Didn't feel anything

But I live up North so...

[GulfCoast66]

12. I'll take Hurricanes any day of the week compared to that shit.

It must be nerve wracking. And I’m a pretty phlegmatic guy.

On edit: Hope y’all are all ok.

[IcyPeas]

15. that's interesting.

I just said on another thread that I would rather have an earthquake than a tornado.

guess it just depends on your experience.

everything here is calm..

16. Native Cali...

Experienced many quakes and living in Santa Barbara for 66 years. This was gentile and just a 'B' ticket ride in Lompoc. Rolling quakes, like this one, isn't as newsworthy as what is being broadcast. Had this been anywhere on the southern coast the damage caused by liquefaction from south of San Diego to northern San Luis Obispo county would have been be devastating.

I spent 3 hours in a root cellar in Oklahoma when I was 10 because of a tornado warning, that was much worse than any earthquake I've experienced in California.

All you can do is be prepared. You can't hide from a quake yet but technology is giving us seconds of warning. Go science!

17. Its starting to feel like california again!

Been in an earthquale drought foe a while until recently.
