this was nothing compared to the 1994 Northridge quake. That was a doozie! The aftershocks drove us crazy.

Yes, even I was in it beacuse I WAS IN Southern California when it happened!

It occured today exactly at 11:42am. It happened in the house when I was talking.Then, there was this sudden rumble underneath the earth. I was frantic. It was over after like 20-30 seconds. When it was over, I switched on the news, they were measuring the strength of the force on richter scale and we were told to expect aftershocks. Thank God, the actual magnitude was 5.4 according to Caltech offcials and they orginally set it at 5.8 beacuse they doubted the temblor caused major structural damage.

I didn't even feel any of the aftershocks but , my aunt said she did. Latimes said the biggest aftershock was 3.6

We were told on the news, there was slight damage in property. However ,no significant injuries were reported. They also said to expect a big earthquake in the next decade. Its magnitude will be between 7.0 - 9.0

something like that but I don't where to expect it because they didnt say.

I mean who in Southern California did not feel it? Obviously, the ppl driving thier cars.

Here's more updated info if you'd like to know what to expect: latimes .com

Obviously the earthquake is the topic of almost every conversation

5.8 is the estimate - it kept rolling vs. the sharp punch of the Northridge quake

you just ride it out / what else can you do?
