it was funny cuz just as it started I was about to go into the shower. Then *jolt* and it looked like the entire bathtub moved. LOL. I came here to post really quickly, then went back and took a shower and I swear I felt aftershocks during the shower, but it might have been an overly aggressive loofah. :-P

14. Gay Marriage!
You know their gonna say it.

I was in the parking lot at work and lasted for quite a while. I was on the phone to my mom when it hit.

Cell phones are not working very well right now.

So Cal Edison is reporting some areas near Chino Hills are out ... not much. LA is ok.

I wanna go home and check the house.
