HOLY LA EARTHQUAKE!! ??? tremor?
WOW! I live in a 5 story pre-war building in Korea Town. Just got jolted for about 45 seconds! How dam Terrifying! I was like, no matter where I stand. If this building falls I am dead. Good grief!
Well thinking about it it was prob. nothing compared to what you guys have felt before. I am such a So Cal Newbie!

Dude my heart is still pumping with Fear! If I had been in a house I might have felt a tad better. Also glad I was not driving! I can't imagine going 80mph and this going on.

Call me crazy but I like earthquakes lol. Over faster than anything else out there as far as natural disasters. Just nothing like Northridge please... THAT was scary. Lived in Pasadena at the time.
I know the news is making a big deal out of this earthquake, but I heard on the AM channel 980 that it could be a precursor to a bigger one. I have never heard of someone from the USGS saying that before which shocked me.

I might remember Landers but I'm not sure. Just Northridge is talked about a lot more than Landers lol. I moved in to Orange County in 1994 from Pasadena. So maybe I did feel it... dunno!
Its funny how this earthquake is all over the news where they're making a big deal out of.. nothing really. No one died, no buildings destroyed. Just some cracks and things knocked out of shelves in stores.

However there is allot of talk of knowing what to do if and when something worse does happen. Never can be too safe it seems.
