Just felt a pretty good earthquake here in Anaheim.

It built slowly and was kind of rolling so it was pretty far away.

Checking to see if someone got clobbered.

3. Initial reports are a 4.4 in Yorba Linda

That's not even enough to set off most car alarms.

7. Well, I guess it wasn't a pre-shock for a bigger one.

For those who remember Northridge there was a pre-shock and then about 15 minutes later POW.

9. I remember there were many small...

foreshocks in the Santa Monica area for days before Northridge.

8. KNX just reported a 2.7 aftershock.

I didn't even feel it.

11. Me neither

If only they could all be like that. I remember back in '87 experiencing the first earthquake. I was in the shower and it was a doozie. I peeked out the bathroom window and the pavement was actually rolling. This one didn't really get my chihuahua's attention.

Whew.

13. Better to have a bunch of little ones than have the pressure build up....

....keep in mind LA will be up around San Francisco in about another 50 million years.

Mount Rushmore will have eroded away in about 7 million,...so,....I ain't planning on a intercity party.

12. Felt it here and we're near Anaheim.

4.5 Villa Park.

[Beaverhausen]

19. Usually they are, they have also downgraded the initial shock

apparently... right now looking for why I cannot call Mexico (City)... which means the circuits are overloaded.

I just heard there were people running and screaming out of the airport.

I swear, some people freak out over the least little thing.
