Earthquake in southern California. Felt it pretty good in Fullerton

[rottndog]

[CaliGirl-R]

Felt it here in Hemet.

[nycgal]

Felt it in Costa Mesa

[al baby]

yo down the street from you pretty good shaker

[CAluvdubya]

felt it in San Diego

[Mugwump]

Pretty strong in Huntington Beach. Mo damage, nothing fell over or off walls.

[SideoutFred]

Yeah, I’m in O.C. in La Palma, we felt it pretty good here...not far from Fullerton.

[rottndog]

Anaheim here....the ground literally thrust upward several times, and then the shaking seemed to drag on awhile.

[Mugwump]

Mo =No

[max americana]

Nothing in the Hollywood area.

[nufsed]

Oceanside downtown a little rock and roll.

[P-Marlowe]

Felt kinda strong in Corona. Nothing to write home about.

[pollywog]

WOW felt it STRONG IN EAGLE ROCK!
5.0~

[americanophile]

Good solid shake in the Pasadena area...

[dragnet2]

Seemed vertical, and rather long...

But it did last longer that would be expected for a small quake. Small that is unless it was centered in Missouri.

lol..

[TaraP]

Real hard Shaking here in Oceanside CA!

[CaliGirl-R]

[al baby]

Yup crazy

[Drango]

“went on for over a minute.”

Seriously? (I wonder if your perception was influenced by the shaking?) In any case, stay safe.

[rottndog]

Lennox....not far from LAX.

[dragnet2]

Centered just west of LA, hearing epicenter Lenox

[jessduntno]

Stood next to my bigscreen for a minute to make sure it wasn’t going anywhere...went back to the ‘puter...nothing shaking now...ahhhhhhhh...I love a good massage...

[reformed_dem]

I’m on the third level of the house and it shook for quite a while. Didn’t hear anything though.

[rottndog]

I started to think after several seconds that it was just me and that the moving had stopped. But I looked and my chair was still a-rockin’!

[nufsed]

Hello, Oceanside downtown.

[Jolla]

The cat jumped here in San Diego

[Syncro]

[Jolla]

Revised to 3.1

[dragnet2]

Whats the source for that?

[Beaten Valve]

Yowza, that was HUGE!!

Lots of emergency vehicles with sirens going on here in Hermosa Beach.

[rottndog]

I’m thinking that was a lot bigger than 3.1...

[califamily4W]

Got this twitter on but, felt nothing in Ventura (about 45 miles north of Los Angeles).

[Pyro7480]

Probably heard it before feeling it.

[reformed_dem]

No. I think the 3.1 was an aftershock. It’s still showing the original 5.0

[TaraP]

Hi There!

Felt like I was falling forward on my chair!

It was pretty strong!

[Syncro]

[Jolla]

Sorry, that was the aftershock

[rintense]

Lotta activity for a short period of time.

[dragnet2]

Yeah, we heard that.

[Drango]

5.0 is big....3.1 is ho humm

[rottndog]

3.1 is like rolling over in bed...

[Syncro]

Yep, pretty quick aftershock too.

[eyedigress]

I didn’t get it here in Nashville. (I recall going between Luke and Vandenburg getting a rumbler from time to time) I hope everyone is OK. :^)

[norton]

Try very hard not to be in the shower during an earthquake!

Real hard.

Gotta believe that it was at least a five, and Long Beach went up, sideways, the other way, and up some more...
