My guesstimate is around 4.0 Intensity in Pasadena...
And yes I run out of the building I was the 1st one out

Yes, that was just about the scene here. I'm just waiting for the USGS Web servers to respond.bertieb wrote:*Pictures JD sat calmly at the computer still typing whilst everyone else flees in terror*
Looks like a 5.6 about 8 miles deep in Chino Hills. That's fairly close to me. -

Must've been a small one, we didn't feel a thing up here. Take it easy out there, James, we don't want you spilling your coffee during an aftershock.

We felt it down in San Diego quite strongly - funny, the San Diego Union Tribune website would not respond shortly after - everyone in SD must've been hitting it at the same time. The LA Times site came right up though. Conclusion: San Diego is more internet-savvy than Los Angeles!

Or LA inhabitants know that http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/ is a better source than the local newpaper :PTreat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of being. -

i'd take earthquakes over tornados or hurricanes. any day.
edit: to clear things up, i was born in california and moved to SC when i was like 12.
I'm actually thinking about giving my love for guns up (see: storing them in Nevada) and moving back once i get enough work experience to make it out there.Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

I'm back from lunch and no noticeable aftershocks to report, although there has been a cascade of small quakes across Orange County, including one near my alma mater of Cal State Fullerton.

Ya im here in downtown San Diego...
I've come to the conclusion that I really dont care for earthquakes...
Im just glad my building is less than 5 years old.

some as yourself, except I moved to AZ. I dunno though, earthquakes are completely random, and there is no 'season' for them. At least with hurricanes and tornadoes you get seasons and can predetermine an upcoming event; at least better than an earthquake.
I was in the '89 quake, and it was not fun to say the least. I was in Nebraska during tornado season a few years ago, and there were plenty of telltale signs to get in the basement.**** ARE FOR CHUMPS! Don't be a chump! Validate your material with certguard.com search engine

but my thinking is this: atleast with a earthqauke you have no notice if your life is going to get ruined.
hurricanes, you've got like 6 months or so of "so, is this the year i loose my house, job, and city to mother nature" everytime theres a storm brewing.
yeah, i know, i'm weird.
also, i was not even 1 year old when the '89 earthquake hit. :dFantastic. The project manager is inspired.

Don't trust Murray, this earthquake was HUGE. It left half of LA in ruins and burning. There are sirens and fire trucks everywhere.Present goals: MCAS, MCSA, 70-680 -

If a 5.4 in OC can do that to LA, imagine what an 8.0+ will really do!KGhaleon wrote:Don't trust Murray, this earthquake was HUGE. It left half of LA in ruins and burning. There are sirens and fire trucks everywhere.
Seriously, we are just not prepared out here for a big quake. And by "we" I mean the people, cities, counties, and the state as a whole. It's gonna be a Katrina-like situation, but with fire and earth instead of water. -

California just doesn't agree with the rest of the U.S, so perhaps it's better if it breaks off and forms a new country with Hawaii.Present goals: MCAS, MCSA, 70-680 -

Apparently the 5.4 in OC was enough to effect some of the phone system in out site in Berkley.
