Earthquake

[Hopeless Semantic]

All the students were freaking out. Most of them haven't been around long enough to know the Whittier-Narrows or Northridge earthquakes.

who lives in Chino Hills?

last major one I felt was back in 2000, when one of the same magnitude rocked Napa at fuckin 1:30am. I remember hearing everything (including a giant glass hutch) falling over in the apartment below and the lady who lived there screaming. Then I got up to check on my sister and saw a record cabinet had fallen over on her, then we went outside and waited for like half hour in the freezing cold for a friend (our dad was outta town that weekend) to come get us.

I still remember the '89 quake too...I remember walking down the hallway when it was happening, and our house was rolling from left to right, and then I reached the living room where my sister was sitting on the couch rocking her head back and fourth while she stared at the static on the TV. It was trippy.

[fatbastard]

It felt like electricity under my feet.

No. LBCC will be remaining open for instruction and work. Funny how frantic schools get when this shit happens. So, Leo, I would go and take your final and be done with it.

[gaypalmsprings]

OMG - they evacuated everyone from Disney rides - even my favorite, Autopia

I was driving down the 10 fwy in 89. I had control of my car but it felt like 4 flats in the mud.

[leo01g]

[leo01g]

Have fun with your Final buddy

NO! Mother Nature doesnt want me to take that final tomorrow

[Heresy]

I clearly remember the Northridge earthquake.....holy fuck.

[gaypalmsprings]

If this was a pre-shock, I hope the big one is tomorrow after I'm in Puerto Rico.

[Hopeless Semantic]

I was down here in the So. Cal area and I felt the '89 earthquake. We were getting ready for a pop warner football game and I was sitting in the stands. Man, it must've been bananas for yall Northern folk

[Boourns]

That was pretty epic. I was sitting outside on the deck having some awful Thai food for lunch and suddenly "wtf is that shaking? EARTHQUAKE!"

[zenidogx]

i'm sure earthquakes would enhance the Autopia experience

[marooko]

cool. i havent been since i was a kid. gonna go see anything in particular?

[menikmati]

I don't think 5.8 magnitudes are a pre-shock normally.

It's been a while, Mr. Earthquake. Thanks for reminding me you fuckin' rock.

It's even better on the 18th floor of an office building... gotta love the rollers they're built on!

[Derekx]

I felt it pretty hard, I've felt harder though.

[tessalasset]

I seriously felt like I was surfing, just standing there.

[bluemamba]

Things were pretty smooth over here in the San Fernando Valley.

[gaypalmsprings]
