God is not mocked.

[B-Chan]

Wow! A fiver! That's no joke.

We even had a quake here in Tarrant County the other day. I kid you not -- a 3.3. WTF is going on down there?

I’m by LAX too. Felt like I was surfing.

[Jolla]

Little shaking in San Diego, the cat jumped, the sliding glass door rattled, my wife and I both thought eq at the same time.

[jeannineinsd]

I felt a very small quake in Santee (East San Diego County)

[DTogo]

Family in Murrieta guessed high 5’s. Shook her place good.

[kthxbye]

Felt it pretty good here in the San Fernando Valley. Long too.

[Driver]

Felt like an explosion in San Pedro harbor area.

[GOP Poet]

Got any guess on the size?

[ArmstedFragg]

Felt in northern San Diego county. Just had a little aftershock, too. Escondido.

[Always A Marine]

It was HUGH here by LAX... where was it centered?

When did they start NAMING earthquakes? Down in San Diego, Hugh Hewitt must feel quite honored to have the first one named after him... ;-)

[sofaman]

felt it in La Jolla. Kids felt it in Redlands & LA (Van Nuys)

[calcowgirl]

If I put in the lat/longitude into google, here is where it was centered: Lennox, just south of Hollywood Park

[william clark]

I rocked pretty good on the 11th floor in Irvine.

[sofaman]

hey there!

[al baby]

Do you remember the San Senia ?

[TruthHound]

Hollywood Park area of Inglewood.

Felt it pretty intense here in the L.A. Harbor area. Strongest I’ve felt since Northridge — I was in Van Nuys for that one.

[Brad's Gramma]

I felt it!
I finally felt one!

Worthless dogs..

[calcowgirl]

That is probably the strongest one I’ve felt since Whittier, I think.

And it was a whole lot closer!

[dragnet2]

Epicenter was Lenox area

[DTogo]

Wonder if the junction of the 110 and 105 (all those concrete pillars) is OK...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Fifteen seconds too long. 4.7, according to Caltec

[A_perfect_lady]

Didn’t get aftershock in Weho.

Revised down to 3.1 - its the economy

[antiunion person]

I wonder when California will break away from the rest of the country and become it's own third world nation??
