At first I thought, wow, why do I feel nauseous - then I realized there was shaking, then I kept watching my light fixture move.
Diva, I thought the same thing - why am I getting dizzy???
That is pretty strong for Baja. I hope everyone is OK.

I was just getting ready to put food in the oven. The pots on my pot rack started clanking.
It worries me that this looks like it was on the Andreas fault, and with all of these earthquakes happening around the 'Ring of Fire'...
It's time to re-stock the earthquake kit.

Running into your doorway only helps if you live in a clay building. DON'T DO IT. YOU WILL BE KILLED.
Get into the area NEXT to a desk or heavy piece of furniture, not under it (you may be crushed).
There have been 5 earthquakes in California over the last hour:

I think Jesus is more pissed off because Republicans keep saying they really know him.
He only friended them on Facebook while He was drunk

We haven't felt a thing since that first big rumble.
It must be our large, conservative Christian population that keeps us safe.
He is risen!
