Did the earth move for you?

California; sun, sand, the ocean, mountains, trails, landmarks, natural beauty and earthquakes!

Yes we had a earthquake today, a shaker: they come in two flavors; a shaker and a roller. The epicenter was about 35 miles from the ocean and centered on the Chino/Diamond Bar area. It measured 5.8 on the Richter scale, that's quite considerable. There were and continue to be aftershocks.

There is a lot of talk that we are due for the big one; the last big was in Northridge a 6.7 in January 1994, hopefully this “letting off of steam” will delay or better still eliminate that. Here’s hoping that any and everyone in SoCal is ok.
