Weird earthquake this afternoon. It was like rocking on a boat for a good 30 seconds. It appears to be major earthquake in Baja California.

Wow! That just went on and on!
Like being drunk without the hangover
I felt it pretty good here in Glendale........rocked for about 25 seconds or so....
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.

Diva - I was just thinking the same thing!
They felt the same effect in Phoenix, as well.

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:

Just felt an aftershock here in San Diego. I missed the big one a few minutes ago - was in the car.
My pots were moving again.
I'm just seeing it on CNN. People trapped in elevators.
Dang - just felt another pretty sizable aftershock. This one knocked some things around in the house.
If we are going down, I just want to say thanks for the fun!

Jesus is pissed. God got him a milk chocolate bunny when he asked for a dark.

You see? This is what happens when the gays are allowed to marry in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington, D.C.,
Just got upgraded to a 7.2. So proud!
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

There was something in that bread that went to his head.
+5 points for JCSS reference
I hope everyone is okay!
Diva, thanks for the link to the earthquake site. Lots of little ones going on all over the place.

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!
