Southern Cal Earthquake!

HOLY SMOKES! Anyone else get the big one just now? It was like 1 minute long and I thougt the house was going to come down.

Just had another after shock. In my 21 years of living here I've never felt one like this. :o

No, but it probably has something to do with me living in Florida.McJugga

You're lucky. This was the first quake I actually got up and was leaving the house for. Never thought the big one would actually hit again.

I'm in the San Fernando valley and here it felt like one of those long lazy undulating wave types of earthquakes that doesn't really build. Was it a shaker where you were because here it was just a long slow roller with little to no effect on any household items?

Well yeah our house are made to sway a lot which is why earthquake damage is a lot lower here than in undeveloped or unprepared areas. I'm only up a story so I got a little extra shaking but getting caught in a tall building during a slow roller is a little unsettling as the building surfs the waves of energy. Everytime they start though I always have this Northridge quake flashback and wait for it to suddenly violently build so I have to admit that I quickly located my wallet and cat and prepared to bolt...but then it subsided.

HOLY SMOKES! Anyone else get the big one just now? It was like 1 minute long and I thougt the house was going to come down.

I felt it here in Long Beach. There were just some slow, but powerful tremors here. My whole house was swaying.

Canada's still on the map at this moment though.

That is one long quake. I had to hold my computer because it was about to tip over.

this is the second one in like 2 months.

I guess all of my friends felt it here in Chandler, AZ unfortunately I didnt.

Although the earthquake was much large than normal, apparently it was centered down 360 miles south of the California border off of the coast of Baja California. No wonder it didn't feel like anything other than something in the 4s. I haven't felt any aftershocks myself but then I about as North as one can be and still be in Los Angeles county.

I'm in long beach too, didn't feel anything. I was on the phone with mom though and she was freaking out becauase her lamp was swaying and she didn't know why. She lives in Carson though so maybe it was stronger the more west you go.

From your reaction I would've guessed that as I'm quite a bit more North than you. Glad things weren't too bad there though as that's quite an unusually large quake. I haven't heard anything about the surrounding Baja California area though.
