Recent Earthquake Chino Hills 7.6 and 4.5 in Los Angeles on July 2008?

Question

what do you know about this earthquake. how were you or your friends and family affected? good luck to all of you.

Answer 1

Im in San Fernando Valley... felt it good... why arent the cell phones working though? Land lines are good...

And it was a 5.8 not a 7.6

Answer 2

Caltech downgraded it to a 5.4 in Chino Hills.

Felt it in Ontario but no damage at my house.  Ontario is about 10 miles east of epicenter.  Always un-nerving, but all is well.

Answer 3

I honestly did not freak out. I work in The Hacienda Heights area which is nearby chino hills. But I wasnt a bit scared. We must remember to remain calm at all times and not run out buildings...you would be amazed to see how many people run out with out looking around and noticing our surroundings. Then again, I lived in norther california where we had earthquakes all the time...the biggest one I ever experienced was back in 1989 during the world series the epicenter was in loma linda and was at a 6.9....It had to be pretty huge for a 3 1/2 year old (me at the time) to remember.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yeah, we live 12 miles off from chino hills. I am in the O.C. area there was no major damage and i do know that the quake is 5.4 and there were 34 aftershocks afterward. The water in our pool downstairs is still having its aftershocks.

Answer 6

5.8, Chino Hills, I felt it pretty good and realized we need to anchor out TV down better. If a jerky one came or a stronger one came, it would have fallen over! This wasn't a bad one, lasted a long time but pretty smooth. A little shaking is good!

PS My cell phone works fine.

Answer 7

It was 2miles north of chino hills. Felt up to 30miles away. 5.4 it was a 5.8 downgraded to 5.4. It rocked and rolled and that is it.

I felt it at my work in Glendora and when i came home to my home in Upland things were on the ground. Lasted about 30seconds.

Cell phones were not working at the time due to high volume of calls. Everyone in the Inland empire was So cal were trying to call people lol

A little shaking is always good to relieve the pressure.

Answer 8
