If you guys haven't heard......
5.4 maginitude earthquake struck @ 11:42 AM PST in the Los Angeles area (centered near Chino Hills), literally sending everyone into a scurry.
Yeah, I live around there and holy crap - started out with a roll, then the violent shaking comes in, all lasting for 15 secs The tutoring center where I was in was OK, but the room next door had a ceiling tile that came crashing down MERE inches from where people was sitting. Outside, traffic stopped for like a minute as some drivers came out of their vehicles and wondered what the bloody hell was going on.
At my house, one of my trophies crashed to the floor due to the shaking, with minor damage done.
Cell phone service was out for quite some time, as well as phone lines and electricity in some areas.
Otherwise, from the news reports Ive heard - minor damage and minor injuries from this event. Nothing much, just enough to scare the bloody hell out of everyone
