Mar 2014

And a glass of water tipped over and got our bills wet. My husband and son were driving and didn't feel it at all. But I really felt it since I was home, on the 2nd floor of our house here in Seal Beach (just south of Long Beach). It lasted at least 20 seconds. Still feeling little 2.0 aftershocks.
