| News says jus' a few gas lines broken, and a few small fires. Advising to NOT use cell service, (it don't work), but otherwise no serious injuries reported.
Many "after-shocks", 28 I believe was quoted. Diminishing in intensity.
Sounds like it was jus' strong 'nuff to get every ones attention, but not bad 'nuff to hurt anyone. Hope so!!
Stay safe Gary, and our friends in, and 'round the LA area!

| Re: We just had a big quake here in southern Calif. Naw, I simply stuck it back in the middle against the back wall where it's supposed to be. I'd moved it too close to the edge while I was scrubbing the desktop, and of course I didn't move it back because my attention was diverted by something or other.

| said by sortofageek :Thanks, I have two nieces w/families living in San Diego and an L.A. suburb. I just know if I contact them, they'll yawn and say I worry too much.  I just had to know. You can't always tell by the number how serious the quake. There are all kinds and some with smaller numbers do more damage than some of the bigger ones. Depends on so many things, how deep and where it happens as well as how long it goes on and, yes, how intense are the aftershocks. Many of us felt it down here in SD area but it wasn't much more then a slightly rolling feeling.

| Re: We just had a big quake here in southern Calif. Worked with a guy from Boston like that back in the mid 70's just north of Los Angeles. He panicked and ran around like a chicken with his head cut off tossing off orders when one of mid-sized ones hit. Was in the Navy at the time and got written up and had to go to captain's mast because I told him to chill instead of mustering under our multi ton satellite dish like he told me to. The only thing that saved me was 1. explaining how stupid that order was to the old man and 2. that I grew up in California..........
As I recall, it was less than a 5, but we were on top of a mountain and it was after midnight but before dawn.

| Re: We just had a big quake here in southern Calif. Well, I didn't run in circles or order any one, but I did ask the guys why they didn't go for cover. I went to the door of the cleanroom because I figured it was safer there. IIRC, the one that happened there was at about the same magnetude as this one, but I could be wrong.
It was like this: Up and down HARD, felt like what wrestlers do to each other, spiking your feet up and down like a sledge, it went like that about 6 times, then there was this broad swinging back and forth about 5 times, followed by a short shiver.
The first part actually made my feet hurt a little.
I was in a clean room and my first reaction was what if the very heavy clean part of the clean room ceiling came down on us...
Anyways, these smaller earthquakes, they help reduce the likelihood of bigger ones, don't they? Like more frequent small ones reduce the amount of movement of large ones!

yes these smaller one can cause LARGER ones it's called an foreshock | |

| Re: We just had a big quake here in southern Calif. Closer to the source as I am, it had two features: an initial two sharp hits followed by the gentler rolling, which was basically the bowl of jello continuing to wobble around after the initial shock. The quake event itself only lasted 3 seconds, but the ripply-wobbles continued for another 15 seconds or so.

| We suffered no damage at all and considering that we live in a double wide that is something, but I have all three units tied together, the third unit being our long porch.
The initial motion was a hard jolt followed by about 30 seconds of hard rolling then fading to about 3 minutes of swaying, but that could have been my Vertigo too.
The Ralph's Market on Baseline is reporting about $80,000 in damage from stock following off the shelves and was closed as is the Staters up on 19th.
Many homes had interior damage, IE computers and shelves tv's down etc etc.
At the junction of the 50 and the 57 freeways, there is now a 6 inch gap in the overpass to the eastbound 60.
Not to bad for a shake that would have been devastating in an area say like New York. Everything here is built to withstand a 7.5 quake.

| Re: We just had a big quake here in southern Calif. Lets see, I've experienced the Bakersfield quake, which destroyed Bakersfield, Missed the 1970 quake (was in Nam) but have gone through some of the other big ones we have had.
They say now that this quake which has caused about $20 million in home damages (Interior) released stress on the locked San Andreas by about 00.010 percent.
Which means we still have the real Big One to look forward too.

| said by rusdi :I've experienced only one earth-quake in my young life. 'Bout twenty years ago, in the city of San Francisco CA. We had just landed and got transport to the hotel. I was signing in and it started. I distinctly remember the desk clerk saying, "DUDE!! GO OUTSIDE!!". He didn't have to tell me twice! I think I managed to make it to the door, and it stopped as quickly as it started. I felt like I looked like a spastic clown, running in place, suspended a few inches off the ground!!! The closest I have been able to describe the feeling is: Felt like I was trying to roller skate on a bowling ball. Something I NEVER want to experience again! Noob. Tyro.
