5.0

Fairly strong. Lasted 10ish seconds here in Orange County.

Ran straight to the Flat screen and held it tightly in my arms.

What part of OC are you in? We felt it here too in South OC... it was a decent shaker but not enough to get me off the couch. And the flat screen is bolted to the wall.. LOL! But, you do have your priorities straight!

Irvine. At a girlfriends house. I sat for the 1st 3 seconds. Walked to the TV. Looked around. Wondered. Damn this is a long one.

If you are from LA you have felt plenty of earthquakes. Richter scales are grown into our feet.

yeah, yours wouldn't load when i clicked it a couple times, probably from everyone in socal looking for info.. so i just posted an optional one

SoCalMike · 05-18-2009, 11:23 AM

my mom lives about 8 miles from the epicenter, and she said it was not that bad... so i guess it just depended on what direction you were at from the quake in terms of where the quake's energy flow went...
