Just had a 5.8 quake here, about 3 miles from my house!!! Jesus, that was terrifying! Phones are down, including cell phones. I've never actually seen ground move before! At first I thought a big truck was rolling by until the patio started to shake and then Deb and I stood up to run to the center of the lawn and the whole ground was moving back and forth -- I almost fell.
Here come the aftershocks...
I am *still* shaking..
Check this out: Recent Earthquakes Just for the record, I am located on the Pomona/Claremont border... (top of red box)
Meanwhile they are evacuating buildings in downtown... and I have to head into downtown soon for work. Hopefully that's the last of it for today.
Pretty terrifying, but cool!
