We just had a 5.8 earthquake

That was way too much excitement for me. That big is hard to be blase about.


ETA: I'm okay, the loved ones are okay. No damage here or at home, just lots of heart-pumpin' going on. It went on forever it seemed like, but it appears that it didn't do much damage overall. Already ABC7 is revising it downward to a 5.4, but it was a real good shake. Chino Hills, the epicenter, is 45 miles due east of here (Santa Monica) so we got a real good taste of it. We're all back to nervous joking stage now. ;-/

You know, you can get used to just about anything. I've lived with earthquakes all my life. I don't mean to put up a false bravado here. They are scary, but you just learn to live with it.
