Mag 5.8 Earthquake in LA less than 20 minutes ago...

Yea, the building I'm in is on rollers and we really felt it. I hope everyone else here in SoCal is OK.

 

Whoa, I wonder if my dad felt it, he's in Camarillo.

And, he did, got the call seconds ago.

 

Hope everyone is safe.

I've never felt an earthquake. However, when I was a kid visiting friends in Rancho Santa Fe there was an earthquake near LA that was felt in RSF. I woke up and everyones like "Did you feel the earthquke." "Um...what earthquake?"

 

Damn, that was a good sized jolt(s)!

I live in Corona, which is next to Chino where it Happened! I heard a rumbling sound a split second before it jolted...My reaction time is slow on this part. But when I spot an F-car, My reaction time is way faster. Sad isn't it?...


Theres still some after shocks...

 

When I first heard about it, the first thing I thought of was 1906 San Francisco quake (they say it will probably repeat itself - in that split second I thought now was the time). Luckily nothing major happened from what I heard.

 

i have lived in san diego for 6 years...this was the first i felt! went for about 7 seconds and the building was really moving. i bet it was quite heavy in la.

 

I got a call from a friend taking the bar exam.. not a good sign for those guys!

 

"ontario bar exam going fine. they were ten minutes from completing the first section. everyone got under the tables. then, an announcement was made that everyone got five extra minutes. i'm sure some a$$ in nor cal will complain that he didn't get those five minutes."
