Thread: SoCaL Earthquake (Chino Hills 5.6)

I was listening to Jim Rome when it went down, and he was live when it happened, doing an interview.

There have been 10 after shocks so far...and they still keep coming. There have been no reports of damage outside of phone lines so far. A lot of rolling, didn't really shake a lot.

I have been here for 2 years...so this was my first one out here, went through one as a kid in OH...

I'm about 16-20 miles east from the epicenter, at work at the moment in Norco. Where are you at Angel? Riverside, San Bernardino? Oh...aftershock just now. The building I work in is a secure building, so extra thick concrete and reinforced rebar. This place almost never shakes, so when the quake started and we're all standing by my cubicle getting ready for lunch we all just stood there, "sweet, earthquake." Then when the building actually started shaking, "oooo, big one", and we just put a hand down to steady ourselves. Then it got really strong suddenly and crap started coming down from the ceiling, "hmm, maybe we should get down now."

When it was over we went to lunch as planned, life in California moved on, and you couldn't tell from looking at anyone that there was just recently a strong earthquake.

apparently shockwaves were picked up by the monitor all the way out here in AZ, nothing you would actually feel though. i did like, if you have seen, they showed the taping of judge judy when it happened and she just runs off the stage as soon as it starts shaking while the plantiff/defendant just stand there looking around haha
