Anybody know what the status is at LAX?
If I were there, I'd be getting off the Freeway and away from bridges and overpasses right about now!

I'm just south of LAX. It rocked and rolled, but not enough to do any damage.
Other than freaked out passengers in the terminals, they are probably fine.
All of Southern California in on earthquake mode, the PDs and FDs are checking all infrastructure, that is taking a while. There are some reports of damage in Pasadena. Most large buildings have been evacuated and will remain that way until they are checked by authorities.
In earthquake mode, all fire equipment is pulled out of quarters....some departments are setting up their EOCs or mobile command vehicles.
(No mention of Long Beach [Boeing] but I'd hate to be on one of the assembly structures even during a 5.8 - having once hung on through a 5.? standing on a step ladder, in a garage, under a shower of 60 year old roof gunk.)
