Here in North Orange County, it was a gently rolling action—and fairly long.
Hey , Fiji Hill, what’s shakin’ ? haha. East Whittier here.
We here in SoCal are veterans of the earthquake wars, so much so that we can tell the distance and magnitude even before even SoCal EQ Data Center reports it. Up and down shaking means very close to epicenter. Side to Side rolling motion, the EQ is far away.
I told the Mrs. a 6 or 7 pointer about 120 miles away based on the rolling motion.
Pegged it. 6.6 Ridgecrest 127 miles north. Felt just like the Landers quake or the one near Mexicali some time ago.
Is it time for another In-n-Out Burger over on Beach and Whittier? Anyone else close to there, let’s do lunch.
See ya.
