5.4 quake centerd in Chino Hills, CA. It was a pretty long lasting roller, lasted a good 20-30 seconds. Always a good reminder to keep your quake/emergency kits up to date.

Were you reaching for your AK and preparing to head to the nearest Best Buy store??;):thumbup:
 
Man between the fires and quakes I don't know how you stay out there! But then again you post some pics of some beautiful places so I guess it's worth the risk.

I hope all are ok!

It happens because they are SINNERS! SINNERS I TELL YOU!

(Man, I can't wait to visit Cali again and sin some more....:D)

Seriously, sounds like there wasn't much if any damage? Stay safe out there guys.

It's easy to tell the people who are not originally from CA! Half of the people in my office were out the door before I even realized we were having one, lol. But yeah, they are always pretty exciting. No damage or anything for me thankfully. Looks like overall it will be minor damage and no injuries.
 
Aye Tknife i felt it... it was a 5.8, at first they said 5.6 but later they said it was a 5.8. For people that dont know the diffrence between the 5 and a 6 is that a 6 is ten times stronger then a 5.. The only thing that got me worried was my 100 gallon aquarium. Any fell down at your place Tknife???

I went home for lunch and just one of my wife's flower vases had fallen over, but didn't break. The rolling ones don't seem bad at all compared to the hard jolting ones that also seem to do a lot more damage.
 
Latest SITREP from California OEM and FEMA indicate no interruption to infrastructure at this time.
 
I didnt even get out of my chair lol... The one we had in 94, i got out of bed to make sure my fish was o.k. Ended up steping on my dog as he didnt even wake up. Then went back to sleep with the house still shaking lol.. Think earthquakes are cool.
 
I was on a waterbed during the '94 quake and it threw me out of bed on a wave, lol. Odd way to be woken up at 4 in the morning!
 
Glad to hear you're Ok Thayne:eek: I have never experienced a quake. Living in MI is sort of boring. Except when it is deer season:D

I hope they are ok as well!

I think that ultimately disasters can strike anywhere at any time.
If its not a quake its something else.
Read up on the New Madrid quake of 1812, that fault line runs right down the middle of the U.S.
I just recently watched a documentary on the Clovis culture that postulates a meteor strike caused their extinction!
:eek:

The older i get the more i find that i want to live in a climate that is more pleasant and less combative, lol.
Honestly I'm just about done with northeastern winters. One more winter here and i'm going west (British Columbia).

Even B.C has worries though, (look up the Cascadia fault line).


Speaking as someone who has never been there California (even with earthquakes) has always sounded good to me.
Yeah i know about the forest fires, but heck i'm more of a coastline guy anyway, lol.

Now if only we could annex California as Canada's 11th province.
:D

Thanks. The ones like this are okay, pretty exciting really. But the bigger ones I've been through are scary, plus all the aftershocks afterwards to keep you on edge. I feel safest here at work, it's a huge all cement building that has been here for decades. I don't think it will fall down on me :)
 
My first Cali quake! pretty mild. They evacuated my girlfriends building via
stairs only to have them immediately go back up via elevator. What was the point
of that? 2 places you don't want to be in a quake... stairs and elevators and she was
in both within a few minutes of it. sheeple!
