[neutralizer]

Wow so many more aftershocks and they're slowly moving up north. The last few aftershocks have been in Socal.

 

[tyler811]

You guys are going to sink into the Pacific. Say hello to your newest island Hawaii

 

[GundamW]

awesome, me and my whole family land tomorrow in LAX...

Ummmm......Welcome to California!

 

[gaidensensei]

Haha.. was in the market looking at a dead crab upside down. I turned around to look at some fish and when I looked back at the crab, it was rocking around. I was like wtf!
Then saw the isle signs moving around

 

[moshquerade]

Whoa, I was in the shower while the earthquake happened. That was weird.

I wonder how it feels if you are just about to orgasm and an earthquake happens.

 

[Bignate603]

I wonder how it feels if you are just about to orgasm and an earthquake happens.

Did the earth move for you too? :awe:

 

[GundamW]

I would wonder how it feels if you are just about to orgasm and an earthquake happens.

Earth-shattering....

 

[neutralizer]

I wonder how it feels if you are just about to orgasm and an earthquake happens.

I probably wouldn't notice the earthquake and then wonder why everything in the room got knocked down later.

<--- In San Diego

I was sitting in a rental car with my co-worker. We thought someone had walked up behind us and was shaking the car.

 

[cmf21]

The quake has now been upgraded to a 7.2

I love CNN's choices for the iReport headlines:

Water comes out of pool in Hemet, California
Well that sucks.


Pots clang in San Diego, California, home
HOLY HELL WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!


What else? "Small puppy mildly unsettled by shaking, but he's ok now."

Our local news in Phoenix is showing video that somebody sent in that's just tiny little waves in their pool.

 

[Hyperlite]

Ever wonder if the prophecies are correct?

ATOT is immune to prophecies.

I was at the table eating bbq with family. It wasn't big but lasted kinda long as far as quakes go but I was far away from it here in LA.

They're trying to channel the Simcity newspaper vibe, but failing.

Time to watch 2012....

In an orange county here. The house was swaying back and forth. I was in the kitchen making spring rolls and continued to do so during the quake. It wasn't that bad to make me duck and cover. I did feel a little dizzy. It was a long qone. Surprisingly the dogs didn't bark.

All those reports on the news about people stuck in elevators are not true! My family friend who is city manager says elevators auto shut down during earthquakes for safety reasons. They don't want elevators to continue to operate while an earthquake is happening. So it wasn't like the earthquake was so bad it destroyed the elevators.

So you're saying the stories about people being stuck in elevators isn't true because the elevators are designed to stop with the people inside them during an earthquake? :hmm:

Being in a shutdown elevator with closed doors sounds like being stuck in an elevator to me.

People were stuck in elevators. Sooooooo, the reports are true.

Well, if your plane is on GPS autopilot, it might miss the runway by a couple feet.

 

[sandorski]

6.9 is almost a "major" earthquake

The Seismologists are Prophets? :\

Meh, you left coasters can keep your quakes. At least we know when to expect hurricanes. We even have a season for them coming up...
