Southern California Earthquake

[cmayer31]

Hope everyone and their pets are ok in great L.A. area. I felt it hit in San Diego, so I can imagine that it was rocking and rolling up there.

Looks to have been a 5.8 centered west of Chino Hills with no major damage reported yet.

It was just downgraded to a 5.4. I spoke to my son in L.A. and he said that there's no damage but that he really felt it!

Where is Lucy Jones?


IT was a pretty good shaker, enough to catch you attention and make you think about where you want to run to.

I've never been in anything more than a couple of mild tremors here in TN. They were the type you had to wait for the news to confirm it was one. Can't imagine anything that shook that hard with follow up aftershocks.

I was standing in the front yard of my babysitter's house when her gas stove exploded. Whoa! I felt the earth move then. I must have been only 6 but I remember it well.

Hope everyone is okay!

Glad that there seems to have been no major damage, RICHARD, I thought you were going to say it made you think about where you wanted to live!

The goods outweigh the bads.

I was sitting down and thought "Hmmmmm, that was a jolt, followed by some rolling, another jolt and some more rolling", by then you have already figured out that it's an earthquake and don't have to do anything.'


Kate Hutton and Lucy Jones are the people who ALWAYS show up on the tube to give you a breakdown about what went on.

The best part about them is when they happen during a newscast.
There are some classic clips of newsheads panicking during a quake.

NO matter where you go there is Mom Nature to give you a reminder......
