Earthquake: checking in So Orange County.

[Control-Z]

I still feel like I'm rolling. Like it's still going on.

[flamingdem]

1. I know, I don't trust my feet on the floor

It feels like JELLO !!

[Control-Z]

2. Exactly!

Started with a crack and went into a roll here. Where are you?

[flamingdem]

6. In Santa Monica it didn't make a noise

Not like last time, that was a very loud noise of cracking, but that one was just over by Mullholland.

[Control-Z]

19. I kind of wish it had been just a little bigger (richter)

and longer lasting. We've gone so long without that I feel we need one to relieve some pressure. That probably wasn't big enough to help much.

[Politicalboi]

3. Rolling so bad that

Your headline needs fixin.

[Control-Z]

8. Oh my gawd, I'm laughing so hard

my neighbors can hear me. What a typo that was!! Thanks for telling me.

[IDemo]

81. What did we late risers miss?

[Control-Z]

85. The o, in County went missing.

You might try typing that out if you want to understand this feminist's shame in all its splendor. It really was a visual blunder. And I wondered why my thread was getting more hits than all the others that were posted at the same time. Lol.

[denbot]

4. Wife just called said she felt it for a while

She is in Manhattan Beach the quake was in N Orange Co

[Control-Z]

10. It did feel close.

It was pretty short, though. I keep expecting the rest of it.

[stopbush]

5. Yep. Felt it quite strongly here in Aliso Viejo.

Understand it was centered in San Bernardino.

[Control-Z]

12. I'm in Lake Forest.

My daughter is in Aliso Viejo right now. I don't think she's ever felt an earthquake before. It's been a while since we've had a big one. I don't think this one will count as anything big.

[ballyhoo]

14. My daughter is in Aliso Viejo also. I haven't heard from her yet.

ddd

[rufus dog]

78. Strange, in Lake Forest/Foothill Ranch, didn't feel a thing.

Was cleaning the garage, could have been driving back from Home Depot at the time. None of the family felt it either.

[minivan2]

15. Close by in Lake Forest

Felt it pretty good as well.

[itsrobert]

7. Felt in San Marcos, CA

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci15481673#summary

5.3 centered in LaHabra, CA

[Control-Z]

13. I was looking for that page.

Thanks for the link!

[ballyhoo]

9. La Habra 5.3. I felt it bad in Long Beach.........

[anneboleyn]

16. I used to live in Belmont Shore...miss it!

[ballyhoo]

20. I did too. Met my wife at Acapulco Inn and

got married ten days later. Married now 44 years.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. My east county FF stations are not evacuating

But this was way shallow

Shot they are revising down already. 5.1 kids

[Control-Z]

23. It felt bigger than it was

I would expect.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. To translate to imperial

It was a mile down. That is shallow.

[Initech]

17. Excuse me while I go change my underwear.

[Control-Z]

28. No kidding, right?

Large or small, earthquakes scare the crap out of me.

[ballyhoo]

18. Just had an aftershock........

[Control-Z]

21. I thought I felt something too.

But I may just be on edge.

[ballyhoo]

24. Well, in Long Beach here near Las Alamitos it was fairly strong. Will

probably get more.

[pinboy3niner]

39. There were 3 quakes within 90 minutes

The first was at 8:03pm (3.6)
The second (biggest) one was at 9:09pm (now downgraded to 5.1).
And the aftershock you felt (3.4).

[ballyhoo]

50. Thanks............

[joshcryer]

61. Were any newscasters reporting live when it happened?

[pinboy3niner]

64. Yes. I had just turned on KCAL News when it hit.

Nothing very dramatic, but the anchors paused when they felt it and saw their studio lights shaking. That was the beginning of their non-stop quake coverage.

[joshcryer]

65. Hehe, darn, was hoping for more mashups.

Stay safe!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. I never experienced an earthquake. Oh, that is until they started fracking here in Texas.

Now we have earthquakes all the time.

[Control-Z]

31. Every time I hear about that

it just pisses me off. I hope the quakes they are creaking aren't as dangerous as the ones we have in Southern California. How do your fault maps look?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

47. They've been in the 2 to 4 range. The thing is, we don't have any faults in the region where

I live. All the notable faults are to the east and south - mainly the Mexia Fault, closest to me, and the Balcones Fault down south. The mild quakes we've had recently have been in areas that have never been known for quakes. Here's a bit more info on fracking quakes in the area: https://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2012/07/12/why-earthquakes-are-shaking-north-texas/

[Control-Z]

87. 99 out of 100 people

will nod in agreement if the weather is strange and I say "global warmimg". I would guess at least 75 out of 100 pretty much accept that fracking causes earth quakes (and various other bad things). Yet the powers that be can't decide, or don't want to admit it. I'm pretty much at the end of my rope with polluters.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

88. TPTB can't decided because they .... can't. In order to keep the engines running, TPTB

don't want to admit publicly that the reason they are going after tight natgas/oil is because, except for perhaps offshore of the east coast, there is nothing else left to get in the U.S.

[Gravitycollapse]

25. Is it the Whittier Fault? Just North-East of La Habra. Seems quite active.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier_Fault

http://www.quake.ca.gov/gmaps/FAM/faultactivitymap.html

[ballyhoo]

27. Excellent. I'll DD that.

[Control-Z]

38. That second map is scary.

We're just a hot ball of active faults.

[itsrobert]

26. There is also a Power Outage in La Habra

n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. I am monitoring San Diego

But that does not surprise me in the least.

[Control-Z]

32. As a result of the quake? (nt)

[itsrobert]

35. Most likely

n/t

[itsrobert]

33. Report of Gas Leaks in Roland Heights near the epicenter

n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Not surprising either

It was shallow

Nothing in San Diego. Normal pd, CHP, sherrif's multiple FDs. Well, I am starting to hear the medical aids. But rarely those are tied to quakes.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. I wonder if the bot wrote this one too

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/earthquake-53-quake-strikes-near-la-habra-california-k2al0i,0,5399191.story#axzz2xK6A5ban

[ripcord]

36. About 10 miles from me

Pretty long quake.

[Control-Z]

75. Any damage?

That's pretty darned close!

[ripcord]

82. No damage, fixed the nerves with bourbon.

[itsrobert]

37. Rides stopped at Disneyland. People stuck on Matterhorn. n/t

n/t

[Control-Z]

40. Wow.

I wonder how that felt. I feel for anyone at an amusement park during an earthquake.

[MurrayDelph]

73. I was on Space Mountain when it stopped once

The ride slowed to a stop partway through, and the lights came on.

There were cars stopped at various safety zones throughout the ride.

Someone had to come up and verify that everything was ok (which it was), and then each of the cars had to be push-started to finish the ride (with the lights on). It was kinda cool.

When we got to the boarding zone, we were given the option of getting out or riding again normally. No one got out (Someone in line grumbled about "how come they all get to go again?&quot

[R B Garr]

44. Thanks for your updates! n/t

[itsrobert]

42. Water Main break in Fullerton, CA

not to far from the epicenter

[itsrobert]

46. Rosecrans and Gilbert Rd, water about ankle deep flooding about 1/2 block

water flowing down to the sewer.

[R B Garr]

43. Yup, it was powerful here in coastal Orange County (central)

The roll just kept building. Very scary. Finally some things on shelves looked to be shaking too much and some creaking started, which made me run out. I hope everyone is doing okay now.

[Control-Z]

79. Newport?

I know Long Beach had some strong movement. Strange how we feel an earthquake at different distances and the geology that makes it so.

[R B Garr]

84. Yes, Newport area. I know what you mean about the geology. I think one of Nadin's posts

had info about a Newport fault. I guess it goes from the La Puente area towards the ocean (?). Maybe I should get more familiar with the faults around here to be prepared. All I know is that it really shook hard here!

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. Again all is normal in San Diego

[R B Garr]

49. One of the most frightening things I ever experienced was in San Diego by the stadium

I was shopping at that Tuesday Morning right by the stadium, apparently during the start of a football game. It was the Holiday Bowl? Something like that). Whatever the Bowl game is that San Diego hosts.

Anyway, they had a flyover at the start of the game, and those jets (from Miramar?) were low to the ground going over the stadium, and the building I was in was shaking and it was so LOUD, I really thought that they were going to be crashing into the building. I thought my life was over. It all happened in a flash, and at first I didn't even realize they were jets, but it was so screeching, insanely loud in that building, and it took me a second to realize it was just a flyover.

[nadinbrzezinski]

51. They can be loud.

I just checked the la twitter feed, people are, understandably, freaked. My local social media is as well.

You keep safe.

[R B Garr]

53. You stay safe, too. Thanks for the updates. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

54. Actually believe it or not, doing my job

[pinboy3niner]

48. KCAL9 News advises to put on sturdy shoes now just in case there is another. nt

[Control-Z]

52. Funny, I was just about to do that.

Need to go pick up my daughter and decided sturdy shoes would be my best choice.

Good tip. Thanks for posting it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. Take a flashlight along

[ChisolmTrailDem]

60. What's this about sturdy shoes? nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

55. My fire boots are in the jeep

5% chance! which is quite standard. And we just had another one

[kestrel91316]

58. KCAL nitwits can go pound sand. I'm gonna go to bed soon.

Helps to be up in the Valley, lol.

[pinboy3niner]

59. Go ahead--the Valley never gets hit

[kestrel91316]

62. Well we paid our dues back in 1994 so I'm not sweating this little thang.

Now if the San Andreas or the Newport-Inglewood give way, that's a whole 'nuther story.

But I can't be staying up fretting over this thing in the next county.

[nadinbrzezinski]

67. If it is the San Andreas even here in San Diego we will get hammered.

You take care

[itsrobert]

57. Brea police said a rock slide took place in Carbon Canyon and that Carbon Canyon Road is closed

63. Embassy Suites in Brea has been evacuated.

n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

66. Local news covered the this might be foreshocks

With prof Gregg Abbott of sdsu. He said that this is reminiscent to Whittier in the 1980s and...that there is no way to tell.

Abbott did emphasize the same thing I did after I saw the data...shallow quake.

Turned scanners off...and decided to turn in the actual news channel.

[Solly Mack]

68. Gosh! Hope everyone is OK!!!

Just reading about it.

[Control-Z]

76. Haven't heard of any injuries.

I heard 1st accounts on the radio from people right on top of the quake. Their garages were in shambles, pictures and items from shelves on the floor, but no one hurt.

Rock slides, and gas and water breaks throughout that immediate area. I hope that's the worst of it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

69. Fire station evacuated in Fullerton

So we will see.

Puente hills thrust fall per usgs geologist, Nancy jones believes this could be a precursor. Abbott from SDSU does not agree.

[pinboy3niner]

70. USGS will have another press conference just after 11pm

Local news stations will have live coverage.

[nadinbrzezinski]

71. Local nooz on

And I need to make sure gear is up to go.

I don't like it

[nadinbrzezinski]

74. Well, way past my bed time

Really.

I usually no longer stay this late.

[Control-Z]

77. Thanks for all the input. (nt)

[nadinbrzezinski]

86. You welcome,

in between EIRs checking on USGS, and see the rolling is still ongoing.

[Cali_Democrat]

80. I was driving at the time and I felt nothing!

I feel left out

...hope everyone is safe.

[Codeine]

83. Rattled the Inland Empire pretty thoroughly,

enough that our normally oblivious kindergartner noticed it and asked "What the heck was THAT?"
