Small Earthquake in LA...
 

For the last five minutes the ground has been moving... is it just me? I hope this doesn't not get worse...

No joke.

i love earthquakes

especially when i'm a thousand miles away from them

Ok the news is saying it was a 3.9-4.2

no sleep tonight...third one in a row. They seem to be moving closer to us in the Northridge area.

They are Pre-shocks for a bigger one.

Get your looting gear ready, and grab me some goods at the local Walmart!

Serious, I think they are pre-shocks.

Better go to the store and stock up on water, batteries, matches, food, etc.

*sigh*

and i can only live vicariously through you guys

is it just like the movie when they turned the bass speakers up really loud in the theater?

i think they called it Sens-a-round

i loved that movie, Earthquake

No, its where all the cops and firefighters live though.

Magic Mountain is like 30mins drive from there.

hmm. that spoils the looting idea.

The only good thing to come out of LA are police chases and shootouts.

:)

I felt it for about 5 seconds, wasn't a biggie.

i heard somebody on the news say these earthquakes are all aftershocks from the northridge quake years ago.

i think they should plow down LA and turn it into a cattle ranch or something. so, las vegas wont be so smoggy
