Wow, we just had a major (and I mean major) earthquake here is So. CA. It went on and on, we thought it was never going to stop. We've been through earthquakes before but this was the worst ever.

No damage that we can see but we are lucky to have a newer home that has built in earthquake engineering. Hope all my friends in So. CA are okay.

Preliminary reports say it was a 6.9.

I felt it too.... although I'm pretty far from where it originated as I'm in LA county. That was very weird. It's the first one I've really felt since I moved to CA 6 years ago.

Yes, my mobile home is still swaying - or is it just me?? LOL
It just seemed to roll on & on & on here - I'm near Cal Poly Pomona.
Nothing tipped over here, it just rolled - like floating over wakes in a boat.
Hope everyone else is OK!

You're right 7.2 and we've had about 5 aftershocks.

Stay safe. Earthquakes are so scary. We've only had a few little tremors but that was bad enough for me.
