Earthquake in Southern California

Did you feel it? Yesterday afternoon Southern Californian’s got a little shake, rattle and roll that seemed to last quite awhile. A 5.8 that was centered in Chino Hills.

I was sitting in my office doing work (okay, I wasn’t really doing work so much as I was surfing the internet...who are we kidding here?) when it hit. At first, I thought, we haven’t had a quake in awhile and then it just kept shaking! That followed by what seemed to be a long period of rolling. It’s amazing that the whole thing only lasted 30 seconds cause it sure felt longer.

In the end, everyone was okay and within a couple of hours, things went back to normal. It was like it never even happened proving that it takes more than a 5.4 to disrupt our day.

Although, with fires burning up North and quakes shaking in the South, you have to wonder what’s going on in the state?!
