You obviously need stiffer shocks on that thing.

I'm so mad... campus was closed and I had 2 big tests and a paper due...

Clown or Barber?

Ouch.... Freefall Robertson........


I was starting up my car in the Togo's Pasadena parking lot. I thought some big joker like Kurt had come up behind me and started shaking my car. Then I thought I'd broken another motor mount.... Then I saw people running out of Togo's and Chipotle and Game Stop.... Ahhhhh earthquake.

Robert slept through it....

I was wondering if the Corvette on the trailer in the driveway went down the hill.... Sure hope Brian was not on a ladder.

I felt it in santa barbara. Hit just as i parked the car.

I was wasting time online. Cube-mate goes, "We're having an earthquake." The space cadet I am, I turn around all "Huh, what." "We're having an earthquake." "We are?" *THUD*

I just thought something was wrong with the BMW, like someone put a Buicks suspension under it. That icky mushy feeling.

LOL. Believe it or not, I had Togo's for lunch today, so with better timing it could have been me. I'm going to have to remember that trick

I didn't even notice it in Mission Viejo, but our employees did in the warehouse. Having ridden through a few since '49, guess a little 5.8 isn't noticable to me anymore .

Damn, my first earthquake since I moved here, and I couldn't feel a thing! I guess Audi's have soft suspensions... I've always been curious how an earthquake felt, oh well.

Felt it here in Mojave, light shaking and a bit of a rolling feeling between the shaking bursts. I felt 3 separate shakings with feeling the floor of my house roll between each of them. At first I thought it was a train or a semi rolling by. I wasn't very impressed by this quake.

My house in Costa Mesa is on sandy fill so it's a bit like jello in a quake. The rocking and rolling lasted about twice as long as it did in Chino Hills. I really thought the place was coming down from all the noise but the fascination of watching the water slosh out of the pool took my mind off of it. I then spent the afternoon chasing damage reports in the Chino area (found none). I actually made money off the quake! WooHoo.

Dang Tom! Call me next time. All the windows in the 7-11 at Beach and La Habra Blvd. in La Habra shattered and stuff was all over the floor. Then we had the post earthquake dead body out in front of the shop...

Interesting reading the different descriptions on the board, based upon where people were. I was in a bus going to SeaTac to fly home talking to my wife when it hit. I heard her startle for a moment, then call out to our eldest asking what was that? They were at our neighborhood pool in Arcadia, she felt a single upward bump, no rolling, no pre earthquake feeling you feel in the ground sometimes rumbling, no back and forth just a single bump, then all of a sudden a wave came out of the pool at each end about an inch above the lip, with an obvious depression in the middle of the pool. That would have been a site!

As I wait another hour for my delayed flight, we eventually hear from our Governator on the TV screen at the gate, and in the corner of the screen, a message keeps popping up that says they will cover Obama's comments on the earthquake immediately following Arnold's. Ok I understand why the governor of the State is on, damage or no damage.... but who the hell cares what Obama has to say about a little earthquake in CA 2 1/2 hours after the fact, and what could he do about it anyway (if something needed done)? He has aspirations, but today (as was the case on the 29th) he's just 1 of 100 senators.

Damn, they called my boarding group, never got to hear what Obama thought about the quake. Anyone wish to share, it must have been VERY important and inspiring. :ibrightdea:

I don't care which candidate was going to comment, I couldn't possibly care less what they'd say unless they were in it, and not much even then.
