5.4 Maginitude Earthquake in SoCal.

i apparently slept thru the northridge earth quake when i lived in Simi Valley @-a

I remember that earthquake. I was at home watching cartoons in the living room. Everything started shaking and I ran into my room and jumped onto my bed face down, lol. That was the first big earthquake I had ever been in so I had no idea what to do.


I was at work in Irvine when it happened yesterday. The blinds started making a lot of noise and the floor was rumbling. Me and my officemate both looked at each other and we're like "earthquake????" At first I thought he was shaking the floor cause our floors shake easy, but then I realized it was shaking a lot more than that and I could hear the shaking in the walls and windows too. Then we both jumped under our desks, lol. It felt like 10 seconds of shaking for us.

After we got up and looked out the window, we laughed cause we saw a group of people that had run out of the building next to us and were just staring at the building. They sure got out fast.

I couldn't make a phone call on my cell for a good hour and a half. My officemate was able to get through after like 10 minutes though.

He said one of his friend's brother was at the gym in pomona (7 miles from epicenter) swimming when it hit. He got out of the pool really fast, lol. He said stuff was falling over but no real damage.
