It was a pretty moderate earthquake - it's the largest I can remember since 94'. It's certainly worthy of attention, although certainly not all day or anything like that.

I don't know where you guys were but here in Brea, it was a pretty gnarly one. I couldn't even make it 5 feet from my computer chair to my door jam with out falling. I had to crawl the rest of the way.

Here's some of the damage:

By the way, it was crazy how hard it was to make a phone call. I finally used the VOIP application on my iPhone and could make all the calls I wanted. They were crystal clear too. I probably made about 10 phone calls and it all cost me a total of 30 cents. Of course, if our wifi was down, I wouldn't have been able to do that.

How do I know it's just not you stumbling around in a drunken stooper knocking things over?

Actually I did feel it. I was in a meeting. I looked over at my boss (Japanese guy) and we just sort of shrugged our shoulders and kept on going. Another co-worker who's from Kansas was rather more alarmed.

3 HOUSES, 2 DISTASTERS!

Yeah, family in law is out of town in colorado so we have been put in charge of one house while they are gone but I rec'd a call from the one family to check on it while BGN8711 was at work.

So lunch rolls around about 12:30 and I still can't get ahold of anyone via cell phone, so I head over to BGN house, I can only look through windows and everything seems to be somewhat ok. Then I roll over to grandma and grandpas.....................a totally different story. I'll have to take pictures. I didn't get a chance as I was running from 3 houses in 45 minutes. In each of the 10 diff rooms I went in, glass everywhere!! So I closed up shop at that place and left everything as is (to come back and clean up later) then rolled over to our house. OH BROTHER! I wasn't prepared.....pretty much everything in the kitchen cabinets was on the floor, the pantry....coco had fallen. That is going to be a chocolate mess to clean up, the bedrooms seemed to be ok, and the garage (I was really really fearing b/c the water heater is on a wooden rotten stand and not very secure and it's really to tumble at any moment) so I slowly cracked the door and.......ahhhhhhhhh it was still standing. The only thing that fell was the exhaust pipe for the water heater.

The Cobra was untouched! YAY!

i live in chino hills, a matter of a few miles from the epicenter, and it was just a moderate kind of rolling action...end result was only a couple die cast cars rollin off a shelf, and a drill fallin off the pegboard in the garage (missing the cars, luckily)

No no, you got it all wrong. I walk around and try to hump things.

This gentle tumbler should be a good reminder to:

a) earthquake prep your house
b) prepare a disaster kit and procedures, in case this sh*t gets real


A little prep can save a lot of misery.
