Well us here in the OC got rocked tonight with a 5.1 followed by multiple 3.0+ aftershocks. It's been awhile since I have experienced one like that in awhile.
fun times rock and roll
yeah the big one was centered not even one mile from mine and rocks houses. luckily nothing broken. there have been small quakes all day long followed by the other bigger one this morning. there was just a small one which probably means another big one comin. apparently this is how so cal is supposed to be but they are saying it hasn't been this way in 15yrs.
glad every one is ok and yes we need little ones to relieve pressure
Keep them quakes away from us but geez check this out!!
