OH Doots, be praying for you. I'll send out a request.

My friends daughter lives in Chino Hills they just downgraded to 5.4.

Keep us updated to how you are doing.

There have been 27 after shocks...hold on down there alipacer's hopefully the worst is over!

They say it was felt in Las Vegas. I haven't heard from the kids.

hang in there SoCal.

worry about your problems there and come back when you can

Says here 5.4

Everyone should be ok.

You dont have to worry much till it gets over 6 on the Richter scale.

Thank you Gogo. I should be used to this sort of thing by now, but earthquakes still scare the daylights out of me.

Been feeling little aftershocks. Phones are working now. All seems ok...

Downgraded to 5.4.

OK good. Becareful if you have glass in carpet. My in-laws had to replace the carpet after the Northridge earthquake because there was no way to get the glass out of the carpet.

Felt it also but I'm not close to the epicenter. I've felt strong ones before so know how scary it can feel.

From my friend out there. I emailed her 3 minutes after it hit TV.
She a teacher for 5 graders with 80% illegal

OMG! THAT IS THE STRONGEST QUAKE I HAVE EVER FELT. 5.8 REPORTED I AM SHAKEN AND STIRRED. PHONE LINES ARE NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME., PHONES WILL RING, BUT CAN NOT GET OUT OR PICK UP.
YES I MEAN TO HAVE THIS ALL IN CAPS!

I HEARD A ROLLING BOOM, FELT A LITTLE MOVEMENT, THEN THE WHOLE HOUSE BEGAN TO ROCK, IT HEAVED, ROLLED, AND LITERALLY THE FLOOR BUMPED UP IN THE MIDDLE, GLASS CLINKED BUT NOTHING FELL, LASTED ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS, REPORTS ARE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 3 MORE 3.8'S SINCE THAT, IN SAN BERNADINO AREA, BUT HAVE NOT FELT THOSE, HAVE BEEN TOLD TO EXPECT MORE

PHONE RINGS BUT NOT ABLE TO CALL OUT.

I WAS PLAYING A GAME, AND THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING UNDER THE TABLE, BUT THE SHAKING KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET, THE LAST TIME IT WAS THIS HEAVY AT LEAST I WAS IN BED AS IT WAS AT NIGHT.
