Anybody here in LA just feel that gentle rolling earthquake ? (At least here in Burbank it was gentle and rolling)

I was just getting out of the shower...NOT a fun place to be....

I waited to hear the sound of breaking ceramics, that luckily never came.

Time to use that museum Putty I have laying around :roll:

TikiG here -
I'm in Van Nuys at work and it felt pretty substantial; the jolt did not happen at first and the rolling motion continued for some time. I understand it was centered near Chino Hills and is rated at a 5.8

Hope this is not a precursrr to a bigger quake later today...hope everyone is fine. Later.

Aaaah, it's been a while. I find the experience very invigorating, sort of brings things down to the basics. I am glad my Australian friend Martin Mcintosh got to experience a genuine California roller now, it was a LONG one. No mug losses this time, it wasn't "jumpy" enough.

I had a 3 1/2 foot tall tiki I was working on that managed to keep standing on the shakey table it was on. Interesting feeling here in Riverside. All is fine.

Hey, if y'all see a car in your neighborhood lodged against an abutment, please be sure to shoo any transients away before they use it as a toilet. Thanks!

Mom is in Anaheim Hills, right near the epicenter in Chino Hills. She says it shook all the cabinet doors open. All the drawers and file cabinets shook open. All the framed art is askew. It rained bric a brac in her house, moved furniture. To those who do not live in quake zones, Earthquakes that move furniture are substantial. Poly Pop is in Chino Hills, haven't gotten him yet, I hope there's no mug damage

LLT's going to become a tiki artifact for future Indiana Jones types to rediscover one day! :D

Got some good shakes down here in San Diego. When I saw the thread title I immediately called home to check on me mugs. I'm in the process of putting up some new shelves and the pieces that have been moved to their new home have not been secured yet. Fortunately, no loses! :drink:

I was standing inline waiting for lunch at a sandwich shop, didn't feel much. I get back to the office, and find they evacuated the building for 15mins. I'm about 69 miles NW of Chino Hills, in Valencia.

We felt it in San Diego in at Dog Beach in OB. Seemed like it disrupted my WiFi for a while. Strangely, my dogs usually can't wait to get out in the water and this morning they didn't want get out of the car.

I felt it in Southwest Riverside County. I was standing waiting to give my order at a Hawaiian fast food place. As I felt the ground slowly go back and fourth, the guy behind the counter yelled "Everyone Hula!"

My brother felt it in Encinitas and my folks felt it out in Palm Springs.
