5.8 quake in LA area

I felt it all the way down in SD. My whole building was shaking. Waiting for some aftershocks

Can't even imagine what it felt like in LA area!

It was a long roller.... felt like being on a metal platform near the train tracks!!! I believe the epicenter was Chino Hills.

I am in a high rise in downtown. Pretty damn shaky! I'm kind of laughing at all the people that decided to run down the stairs...
