5.8 Hits LA

Okay, that was a fairly sizeable shaker. Stuff fell, cabinet doors swung open, light fixtures danced, but it wasn't THAT bad.

It was pretty big up here in Ventura County as well. Thankfully it was a more roll type one (at least it was in my neck of the woods). It's been a while since I felt one of that magnitude.

How bad was it? Injuries/casualties? I hope everyone's OK.

I sat through an earthquake on Thanksgiving Day while at the movies watching "A Bug's Life." The camera started shaking, and the resulting image projection made me instantly seasick. I was worried that the ceiling tiles would start falling. The kids in the theater were screaming like mad. When I got home, tons of stuff had fallen off the shelves.

It shook up Hollywood pretty good, we're a lot closer.

I wonder what happened in Downtown LA...

Reelin' and a'rockin' for sure. Felt it, and it seemed to go on a real long time. The epicenter was in Chino Hills, east of Irvine. Aftershocks are expected.

They can feel different depending where you are.

This recent one was a rolling one (up in my area). Imagine being on a softly rocking for a bit and then it starts rocking harder and then dies back down again.

The Northridge quake (which was over a 6.0) was a massive shake that lasted for a quite a bit. Imagine someone grabbing by your upper arms and shaking you pretty violently and that's how that one felt to me.

Most are so small you barely feel a little sway.

Some are never felt at all.

Glad to hear you are safe!

I felt it out here in ventura county, none of my statues fell luckily. It was pretty sizeable, but not too big.
