Emergency preparedness at a bare minimum:
Shotgun, flashlight and H2O
Did you like that bd476?
Very brief, weak, felt it in the Hollywood Hills. But I live on a granite hill, so I am in no position to guage it. I lived through a lot of ‘em.
I think it’s up now. Felt it in Ventura. I hate earthquakes!!
Im on the couch were I generally feel them pretty well.
Didnt feel a thing in Glendale. Others may have.
And the aftershocks begin.

This one felt more like a 5.0 to me but then the epicenter is very close by. At that it was a rough bumpy ride.

Slide baby slide.
A 7.2 quake in Jakarta region. And all around the Pacific Rim there have been a series of 5.0 range quakes. I watch the maps usually every day and it seems to me an increased amount of activity.
Certainly a 7.2 quake is a biggie. Hope we don’t have that here.
Report in, please! ruok?
At least the weather is good ...
GW's fault, of course.
Woke me up in Encino/Tarzana. No damage.
Department of Homeland Security issued a statement three minutes after saying that there was no indication that the quake had no links to terrorists.
Don’t these small earthquakes mess up your houses, weaken the construction, crack the bricks and stucco? After years and years of these small earthquakes it seems that your house would be a wreck.
Water bed....the O.C......felt nothing. ‘Quakes usually wake me up too.
