1. Context?

Must not have been that bad since you can still post. Knock on wood.

2. Looking for info and turned scanner on

Nothing like FF evacuating stations. This tells me in San Diego it was not that bad

[IcyPeas]

3. I felt it in Sherman Oaks, CA

[MiniMe]

4. A little more info please

[GReedDiamond]

5. I felt it, sitting in my chair in front of my computer, but...

...as soon as I stood up, I couldn't feel it anymore. Weird.

6. USGS says 5.4 in La Habra.

But it was really rolling for 15 seconds

It was way shallow. There might be damage out of this.

9. they said they were afraid something was brewing

after many smaller quakes recently. maybe this was it? not even on any news sites yet!

17. This was not "it". Way too small. I think all these moderate and

not-so-tiny quakes we have had in recent weeks and months are leading up to another big nasty like Northridge within a few years.

I just hope it happens far from me. One Northridge in a lifetime is plenty for me.

10. This was pretty scary in Tustin Ca.

11. I miss living in SoCal. I know that sounds odd, but riding the earth wave is quite an experience...

I still remember hearing the news, "breaking" on my crappy car radio-cassette player, covering the '89 San Francisco quake and how all of us just felt horrid when we heard that "part of the top deck of the Bay Bridge has just collapsed onto the bottom level." Ugh. I used to drive over to the City and back to the East Bay on that bridge nearly every day.

I hope everyone is well -- thanks for the posts from our DUers in the sunshine state!

12. This one was an unexpected thrill

Super rolly in all directions and went on so long you wondered.. is it teh big one? Luckily no, I'm not in the mood for that!

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Hubby was a young sailor then.

He got recruited to...do body recovery on that one. I will not go into the visuals.

He slept through this one

[Iggo]

13. Okay, I'm back.

5.1 followed by a 3.4, right under my ass (Whittier/La Habra/LaMirada), that's why it felt so huge.**

Phew! Helluva ride!

**the earthquake, not my ass!

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. It was very shallow.

It was under you, gas lines.

And stay safe

15. There also was an earlier one--3.6 at 8:03pm. nt
