Earthquake

Wow that is pretty scary Fishmomma and as my day has just started hopefully it will be a smooth one. Glad you are fine though!

Wow! I've been reading poss rom a lot of people in your area who xperiencd the earth quake. It's nice to read all the acounts here on MyLot so I can see that all of my frieds are OK.

Nothing that exciting! But that's okay...I had a great day.....but alas.....nothing exciting to share!

I heard about that on the news and thought of all my friends here and other message boards that live in CA. I'm glad you're okay. You couldn't pay me enough to live in California! Earthquakes, drought, fire...it used to be a wonderful place but lately seems to have all manner of natural disasters. I hope the cycle stops soon! Such a beautiful state to have such things happen, it's a shame.

I have friends who live near Anaheim, and he said that their house shook. Their swimming pool had water to splash out and something fell from an armoire. But they escaped any damage,otherwise. He said he did move to the doorway, though. Here in Alabama, thought it was only hot. Late this afternoon, it began to thunder lots and the trees began to say with the wind. But the rain we thought we were about to get never came.

WOW ! you must live in southern california. i lived in san francisco for fifteen years and i sure experienced more than my share of these. did you feel dizzy right before it happened? that's the only way i could anticipate them. even the after shocks were scarey! you never knew if it would let lose into a big one again. my absolute worst one was being in an elevator. i was about 20 floors up. some friends and I were going to a fancy restaurant. the lights went off. we felt like we were banging against the elevator shaft. made you feel like the cable would break !

Glad it wasnt any worse for you guys. Im glad I have never had to experience an earthquake myself. I have nothing exciting to share same ole dull days as usual for me.

I thought about you today! I'm glad that you and your family are fine. Wow how scary! Nothing happened today with me- not even close to your day!

Yes, we shook right along with you, Fishmomma. Actually, it was more like riding a wave which took 27 seconds to move on. My daughter didn't feel it until about 10 minutes later. She might have just felt the aftershock. My son was spending the week with a friend who lives 10 minutes away from . . . guess where??? Yep, Chino Hills, the epicenter. I'm glad you're okay. We didn't lose power or phone service but for 27 seconds it was pretty shaky. At least the brains at Cal Tech have learned something else from today shake. Did you know they will soon have something in place to pre-warn us that an earthquake is coming? Mmmmmm. I guess they'll at least have a few minutes to let everyone know it's coming. Anyway, try to have a peaceful evening and a better tommorrow, my friend.

every day is special for us that we must cherish even it is very harsh or very unforgivable experience we must cherish because our God want to experience it in order us to learn and to survive in this world

I am glad you are ok. How did the children do are they OK with the earth moving under their feet? I am so glad that the earth quake was not worse than it was.

Yes, I saw the headline on Yahoo and heard about it on Fox News. That is when I called my parents who live in the San Gabriel Valley, where I grew up, to make sure they were alright. My parents home, where I grew up, had some glass items break. My Mom was shaken up a bit, but she was not frightened.She actually thought is like a rollercoaster ride. Now, I am just waiting for the Hayward fault to break loose where I live in NorCal. I guess the epicenter was in Chino Hills.

fishmomma hi from another Californian who got shook up badly. I was mylotting and my monitor was rolling and shaking, and I tried toget out of chair and the floor was rolling Ihate that rumble sound that precedes it. my books did not fallover but things opn my desk were sliding. I was petrified and I have lived here for sixty years now.this f elt really hard. I was about twenty miles from chino hills.

My day started out with a knock on my door, one of my neighbors looking for my son. He had a dog with him and asked if I wanted a 'free' dog. When I saw the dog, I already knew him, whenever he got out of his yard, he always came here and played with my kids. ( the former owner gave him to my neighbor, who couldn't keep him) This is the same dog that my son told me he wanted, I was so excited to be able to get the dog for him. My day cannot compare what you have went through today, I am glad to hear that a Mylot pal is safe and sound. I did see some pictures of damage out there on the tv, I'm glad it was a mild one. Have a good night !

All I have seen about earthquakes was on the news and it looks very scary. I can't imagine what feelings people go through when they experience one. Glad to hear your ok.

I heard about this earlier and didn't get to read about it until about 30 minutes ago. Glad to hear you are okay. We were in California back in November and that was a big concern of ours. Then when I read that Disneyland was temporarily shut down. We stayed at the park. How are far are you from there? I was reading that people in Las Vegas felt the quake.
