Thank you for the ping. I am in Atlanta right now and my family is in So.Cal. My Mom in Glendora said she could see the walls move! She has been in So.Cal for over 60 years and said this one really unnerved her. Her cell phone and landline did not work for a few hours. When she went to check on her Pit Bull, the dog jumped into her arms!
How are are you BG? How are the pups?
Sounds like she's south of South Hills Park (and the 210) like myself. Really had a very strong north-south movement, enough to get me out of the building, and I'm usually the one who chuckles at those who do run out in the middle of a quake.
You're welcome, Tajgivran. It's good to hear that your Mother is okay. Poor dog. ;-)
It's kind of unnerving thinking that cellphones would not work. After the Northridge earthquake there was no power and as I recall my phone line was out. I couldn't find my flashlight which I had on my nightstand. An entire wall of books was on the floor blocking my exit outside. My 20-inch television had gone airborne and then landed right next to my bed. I nearly tripped on it.
Then my neighbor started screaming "Gas leak! Everybody get out!" Outside a fallen street light blocked the fire department's access to our street. Nine buildings on my block came down. Not fun memories.
This is yet another wake-up call for continual earthquake preparation for all of California.
Me? I stood in the bathroom, WATCHING my shower DOORS moving...wondering what was going on!? And then it was over...and it dawned on me....um....earthquake maybe?

The older dog, per Gramps, flew under the diningroom table. The pup sat down next to him (Gramps) and ... did nothing.
I LOVE these kind where I feel NOTHING!!! :)
