Chargerz Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Was working at the hospital today and the whole building started to shake.....and kept shaking for at least 30 seconds! I haven't been in an earthquake that strong since I've lived here. My wife was gardening, and said it sounded like a freight train was going through the El Cajon valley. No injuries that I know of here, but the epicenter was in Mexico just east of Ensenada. Hope everyone is okay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 A lot of these lately all over the western hemisphere. Maybe Mother Earth is getting ready to rid herself of a virus.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) My wife and I are in Ventura (between L.A. and Santa Barbara, for those not familiar with the area), visiting her family, and we definitely felt it here. That's pretty crazy, considering we're over 900 miles from Ensenada. Edit: I'm supposed to go deep sea fishing with my 3 brothers-in-law on Tuesday morning... It's a 3/4-day trip out of Point Loma, where they take us into Mexican waters to fish yellow tail. Of course, now my wife says I shouldn't go (she gets pretty paranoid about just about anything... earthquakes, flights, etc.).

Of course, now my wife says I shouldn't go (she gets pretty paranoid about just about anything... earthquakes, flights, etc.). I'm in the SF Valley in LA and felt it very much as well. Chargerz - here's a sobering thought: I was 2 miles from the epicenter of the 1994 northridge quake which was a 6.8ish. You want scary? THAT was unforgettable. As you mentioned - the sound that thing makes when you're close to a strong epicenter is something you do not want to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you're fishing off the coast of Somalia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Felt it in Newport. More of a rolling/wave type than a rumbler. News coverage got to the point that it was stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, parents said it was wavey, kind of like you were just having vertigo... parents' chandelier was swinging but gladly no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
