it was pretty scary!!! haven't felt one since i've been out here these last 6 years and around 11:40 am west coast time a 5.8 hit the chino hills area, which is about 45 miles east of LA. at first i thought it was just a big truck going down my street and then my whole apartment started shaking, things started rattling, i mean you could see the building move!!!! it was pretty scary. i just stood up and then didn't know what to do next. i was like, , i know what to do in a tornado, but not earthquake, lol!!!
damn, Alok just got out here and bam!!! 5.8 earthquake. i blame him :D
but seems most everyone and everything is ok. couldn't call out for about 45 minutes though, that sucked! oh well, just thought i'd share

stand under a doorway :p
We get them in Guatemala & El salvador where i lived all the time. They are kinda scary. I love that when one starts to happen, everyone looks at the cealing to see how bad its going to get to see if you bother moving or just staying. |

Earthquakes are awesome if nothing serious happens! Totally reminds you that the Earth isn't just a stagnant piece of dirt. :)
Glad you're okay, Sarah! lol @ Alok comment |

I felt one in Wisconsin (epicenter was rural northern Illinois) about 4-5 years ago, but had no idea what it was when the building was shaking for a few seconds. I thought it was the 2 fat people in the apartment above us having sex in the living room! |

Alok is such a whore.
I've spent about a month or so total in California, and never got a quake, but he gets one in like 2 weeks. :whip: |

Sarah,
I am glad to hear that you are alright. I know how scary those things can be because I remember getting after shocks pretty regularly when I lived in San Diego. Anyway, how was your time in Ibiza? Send me a PM and tell me ALL about it!! Also, how's Joy? I never heard from her and there are some pretty good shows coming up not to mention the ones that have past since I left SD. |
