We just had an earthquake in L.A.

I was just at home watching a movie and then all of a sudden the whole room shakes. So I rush to middle of the doorway(to be safe) and watch outside to see the houses and brushes shake. I was kinda scared but thought it was fun kind of like a boat.   I hope there isn't a bigger one coming.

I've got Fam, there. How long

 and how strong was it? from 1- 10

It was 2-3 min which is really long though it doesn't seem like it. Also, I don't know where to get the measurements for how strong it was.

[Goenitz]

it was a 5.8 centered in chino hills.

yep...i just got home from my lab and my roommate said he felt the shock...for some reason i didn't feel anything o_O...must have been the laboratory building's schematics...

Just to warn people (not scare). So I think to all those who live in California, be careful and be prepared. Hope everyone is ok. Also this quake was felt in Los Vegas, which I think is kinda weird for a 5.8. o.o

Edit: Quake has been downgraded to a 5.4.
They have said that within the next few days we can see some aftershocks ranging from 1.0 to MAYBE a 4.0. The chance of a stronger quake is 1%...........but lets hope none of that happens.

Everythigns fine, it was small, heck i didnt even notice it (was with the family in the car though)

I saw a newsflash about 2 hours ago. Man, Richter 5. I knew California has earthquakes once in awhile but I've never heard they would be Richter 5.

Hope everything will be O.K.

yeah...i was talking on the phone with a customer(work in a call center,not in US)and after coming back from hold,he said "hey,you know what?? We just have had an earthquake in here!!"
He said it lasted for 15 seconds,and his dog was scared and shaky like sh*t   

Anyway,i hope everyone affected by it is ok!

[Scar]

Damn, Im just seeing it in the news.

Hope that all our Infinity bros from L.A are okay..

I felt it but I didn't feel it that bad. Only a couple of seconds here.
