    I felt my house settle, that's what I thought it was. My brother felt some rolling.

    5.1 magnitude south of SD...unsure if more than 1...they have reported that there were 2 separate ones and then 1. Originally claimed 4.7 15 miles out of edwards AFB...then claiming the 5.1 off of Rosarito.


    *update* raised to 5.2.

    Earthquakes are cool.
    Common sense is what tells you the Earth is flat.

    I like earthquakes. I missed this one (on the road, probably thought the road was just bumpy). There were two of them on different fault lines minutes apart... that's not supposed to happen.
    As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

    I will repeat once again how much I prefer Hurricanes to Earthquakes! This absolutely sucks and makes me sick.

    I'm sorry, but earthquakes are awesome, they're fun, and they're usually less lethal than hurricanes, at least here in Cali.

    How the fruck are they fun....they make me queasy as hell and you have no clue they are coming. I can get away from a hurricane and prepare my home to prevent damage. Even during Andrew we only lost a light fixture and some shrubery.

    Hurry and check in all you cali-guys, so we can stop worrying. I hope you are all safe!

    I dunno a hurricane is worse to me. Because you can see it coming for weeks. Its like someone tells you that you are going to lose your house and pets and everything you own in one week and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. Its scary.

    5.1 and 4.7 respectively

    Nothing felt here in El Segundo. The last large earthquake we had in Central CA (the 6.4M in Cambria) shook my building.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    I LOVE big ass lightening storms near the ocean-those are cool as hell...I think an earthquake or hurricane would scare the crap outta me.

    Go down south. Shoot, rent an east facing hotel room in Cheju-do. Enjoy. Don't take electronics that you won't mind losing to water damage.
