How you doin' there JD? I'm still shaking. That was the 4th one today! Supposedly the big one. Another 15 minutes later, two more- 3.4 & 3.6.

5.3 is about 5.3 too much for me.

Felt it! :D

Quakes have yet to make me nervous. I just sit through it worry free...and I hope it stays that way. Not wanting to ever have to endure any of those BIG life changing ones.

I felt it! I don't even know what a person is suppose to do when a quake happens. Grab your animals and run? Sounds right.

Felt it a little here...my son and I were trying to decide if it was a gust of wind slamming the house (as we get those lots---moves stuff outside all of the time) or an actual EQ...then we noticed one of the hanging lights in the kitchen still swaying a touch....thankfully that was it...although I am a native here I still do not enjoy the sudden motion much...:p

I am about 2 miles from the epicenter. There was some very strong shaking since we were so close. We had broken things in almost every room. Fortunately it was all minor stuff. We had lost power for a couple hours as well. My main worry during the power outage was that the various thermostats for all the tortoises and snakes were off and hoping they wouldn't get too cold. Fortunately, the power was off for only a couple hours. I checked to make sure all the reptiles were back to being nice and warm before I went to bed.

Big rolling one hit at 4 ish. Anyone feel it? It was closer to me than the previous ones, but still probably only around 4.1.

I've only felt the 3 aftershocks from MP. Was the one about a week ago in the same area? I wasn't in town, and can't find it online.

You're supposed to get under the desk or crouch in a doorway. I've heard the bath tub is a good place too.


Did L.A. fall off into the ocean yet?

I'm pretty sure we're still here Yvonne. :rolleyes::p
They "changed their minds" about the bathtub idea. Its actually more dangerous, because the walls surrounding it tend to lack horizontal beams.
