Just made a business call to LA and the company needed to be called back; said everyone was shaken up. Tiles from the ceilings were coming down.

Keep us posted, Karl ..... stay safe.

CNN reporter said happened around about 11:42,
east of Pomona .. felt 25 miles away .. started
slowly, picked up steam, maybe about a 5.
Lasted about 20 secs .. you knew it was an
earthquake.

Now saying 5.8 magnitude .. felt even into
Vegas.

Just hit my house in Anaheim Hills about 20 miles from downtown LA less than 5 minutes ago.

It knocked stuff off my shelves. Quite dramatic.
