    Yeah, I was watching the Padres/Blue Jays game last night when it happened. Glad to hear all is well.

    I remember back in 1989. I lived in northern california and i was at the world series. Giants vs A's. I thought for sure when i got home my aquarim was a goner. But just lost 10 gallons on the floor.

    Thanks Steve....everyone. Actually, that fault has become very active. I've been through several BIG ones & thousands of small ones below 3 that you cannot even feel. Right after, like within 10min. after, there were like 30 or so small-small aftershocks you could not feel. Since then, there have been hundreds. The USGS site manages all of this and posts it on their site in realtime.

    CHECK IT OUT.

    Hey Sebass, I'm a So Cal resident as well, located in the Temecula area. I was driving while it happened so I missed this one. Seems like we've been having a lot more on the larger scale size recently. That one on mother's day was huge.

    I guess thats the price you pay for living in cali man, living on a transform boundary are is a pain. That would scare the crap out of me thinking my tank could bust open..yikes. good luck man

    I hear that, I'll stick with my hurricanes and occasional small tornado.

    Earthquakes, blizzards, volcanoes, not for me.
