Down here by the beach....it seemed to just keep shaking....much more than 30 seconds....
To: monkeyshine
what if that was just a pre-shock? Not likely. The first one is the main event, then come aftershocks of lesser magnitude.

I believe it was 8.9 and I meant to say 1994 (not 2004). January 17, 1994 at 4:31am. I had to get 19 stitches from lacerations I received while trying to escape the building. Ugh. I don’t like earthquakes.

I live in Ontario as does my Mom, my best friend lives in Upland. Glad to hear that there is no damage there. We were in Brea and the shaking was quite intense and very long. Worst I have felt since the Upland quake in 90.

Pretty strong shake down here (Orange County, North Tustin Foothills).
Man, I hate these things.
Our doberman was not amused...
Fires last year, very close to us, fires all over the place again this year, and now--a real shaker.

Be careful out there..............
The Elsinore Fault Zone is a large geologic fault structure in Southern California.
The Elsinore fault zone runs from the mountainous region between El Centro and San Diego, northwest to Chino Hills. On the southern end of the fault zone is the southeastern extension of the Elsinore fault zone, the Laguna Salada Fault. At its northern end, the Elsinore fault zone splits into two segments, the Chino Fault and the Whittier Fault.
The Elsinore fault zone, not including Whittier, Chino, and Laguna Salada faults, is 180 kilometers (111 miles) long. Its slip rate is 4.0 millimeters/year (0.15 in/yr). It is estimated that this zone is capable of producing a quake of MW6.5 - 7.5 on the moment magnitude scale. The projected interval between major rupture events is 250 years.
The main fault zone is one of the quietest in California, producing only one quake above a magnitude of 5.2 in known history, an estimated magnitude 6 on the Richter Scale in 1910 but the quake did little damage and produced no surface rupturing.

Here in the eastern Coachella Valley, I'd guess we're 90 miles or so from Chino Hills....but we heard a snap (like a dove flying into the sliding glass door), followed up by a good thump about 6 or 7 seconds later.
Checking the USGS site, we were surprised that this wasn't just one of those little Anza-Borrego 4-pointers.

Um... if there was an 8.9 in the San Fernando Valley four years ago, more of us would remember it. And the SFV wouldn’t be there anymore.
