[Mr BB Chevy]

just heard about the 5.8 everyone ok

The center was in Chino hills about 10 miles east from where I work. We felt it strong here and the phones stopped working but there are no other problems that I have heard about so far. It felt like the Northridge earthquake 10 years ago. That scared me a little because we were fine in Orange county but we did not hear about the all the damage up north till much later. The aftershocks are coming every few minutes for right now but I am sure that will end soon. I bet this is the part that Bruce does not miss about living here.

I found out about it right after it happened...and called my oldest sister...She had some damage to the contents of her house in Orange...but other than that she's okay.

From what I hear...the CHP and Caltrans are currently checking the 241 Toll Road...as the bridge may have sustained damage (there are supposedly visual cracks)

I hope that everyone is okay! I didn't really mind the earthquakes...there was only one that scared the crap out of me...it was the Big Bear quake...I had Holly in my arms (she was a baby) and I was thrown violently against her bedroom wall...that's when I knew it was time to get out of the house

pretty strong earthquake and felt like a good rolling motion that had me holding onto the counter in the kitchen and it lasted maybe 20-30 seconds but felt really strong . no damage in long beach just some stuff knocked off shelves but nothing major

i did hear about the 241 toll road but haven't heard anything else but i'm watching the news . i would rank this quake to being very close in comparison with the landers/big bear earthquake many years ago

That reminds me of when I lived up north and the big San Jose earthquake happened. My Dad worked for the local radio station. Everything was ok in our city and all the little farm towns in the area were checking in ok. After about an hour somebody realized that they had not heard back from Coalinga which is an hour west of Fresno. Most of the downtown area was leveled because it was built in brick. It was a miracle that not one person was severely hurt or killed there. It is unbelievable the amount of damage these things can do.

I feel for you guys. I was in Tokyo last week when a 7.0 happened about 300km away. The hotel we were in was swaying and creaking. Felt very nauseous. Not so much fun...

Hope everyone is Ok too!.

My kids are in nearby Wildomar for a holiday visiting their mother...when I spoke w/ them on the phone last night they told me the 'quake was really cool!.
