San Diego Love! ♥
Nicky and I also felt it way down here in San Diego!
We just checked that it registered as a 3.0 here in San Diego, so I can only imagine how scary the 5.7 in Chino Hills must have felt.

Stay safe! <3

I'm at work here at Shuffle and Cut in Rancho Cucamonga and it shook the whole store pretty good. Board games went everywhere and I'm surprised the glass didn't break.

i guess we just got lucky... oddly enough nothing really even fell off my desk. it was like 7-10 seconds of relatively intense shaking, but my fan and stack of DVDs were on my TV and didn't even fall ^^

A little bit of shaking down here in LBC, was in the middle of beasting the CPU in Wii Baseball.

Still ... nothing will ever be like 89.

Well uhm.
Is anyone else's cell phone not working after the EQ?
Mine works fine at my house, and I still have reception. I just can't take/place calls or send/receive texts.

On the cell phone topic: cell phones probably won't be working for a while because EVERYONE is calling each other trying to find out if they're alright, what they're doing, yadda yadda yadda. So the cell phone carriers are going to swamped with SoCal calls and unable to deal with them all.

The earthquake was big enough to wake me up and broke my clock!

I have T-mobile and it just started working again.

An entire office full of expensive electronic equipment had absolutely nothing fall or break, we're so lucky. My internet is faulty and my phone seems to be going very slow though

Note to self: DK's Down B is a lot more powerful than I thought ...
Lol! I expected a lot more of these jokes but it was still funny
