Wow, we just had an earthquake here. Well, it was in Mexico, but we felt it all the way up here. It just rolled and rolled. Lasted about 45 seconds. Our blinds and chandelier were swinging pretty good. First one we have felt for a long time!

That is a scary thought. I am sure glad we don't have many here. Glad everything is OK with you....

I'm in Tucson AZ. I felt it.

That was a long one, for sure!!

So far sounds like the most of you are OK hope it stays that way, Sounds like you are in for a shakey evening. How long do aftershocks go on? Watching CNN News and they are happening pretty fast, one after another.

I'm glad you are all OK. Those are so scary.

They said it was a 6.9, had things fell off the shelf in the garage. Doesn't seem to be any damage.

Just read about that hope that everything is okay out there.

Wow, we sure have had a lot of earthquakes this year. So glad you are all OK.

I am so glad everyone is ok.
Please help me here.
I live in Colorado and it is about 6:05 or 18:05.
California is 1 hour earlier than CO, so it is 17:05.
How can your posting time be in the 19:00s?
My message is coming up 20:08, what am I missing?

It must post east coast time.

Glad everyone is alright! I used to live in S. California and believe me I don't miss the earthquakes.

Around 1969-1970, I don't remember the date, there was a bad one. We were at least 150 miles from the epicenter and lost 3 ft of water in our swimming pool from splashing alone. Our pool ended up with a huge crack but we were all fine.

I am so glad that you had no major damage and everyone is ok!

So glad everyone is alright. I just heard from my boyfriend so I text my SIL and they are ok too! They live in San Diego area and now calling my brother and SIL in LA area (err no answer). Oh no, I gotta call my son who is visiting CA. Just called and Whew, he's fine, he's in San Jose area.

I imagine there will be damage in Mexico, haven't heard yet.

Just read about the quake on AOL. Glad you and otheres in the area are OK.

Yup, I am just south of you. No damage here. The rolling was loooong! Thank goodness we don't have chandeliers.

This one was quite the shaker. It went on much longer than any other that I've felt, but no damage at all. Just my nerves :-) It's been a while since we've had one. I heard this has been upgraded to a 7.2. That's pretty substantial.

They said the after shocks are hitting as far north as the Salten City (Salten Sea) big chance the 7.2 was a fore shock. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

I just read about that and heard about it on the news. At least everyone is okay!!! That was a strong one!

I went through the Loma Preta in 1989. Not to long after my daughter was born. I just got out of the shower and she was asleep on the bed, the apartment shook. I jump on her to shield her. That goodness the building didn't collapse cause the firemen would have found a nude woman protecting her infant under the rubble.

I just talked to my mom in Yuma Az and they were driving and
couldn't figure out why their truck was acting funny.
They didn't figure it out til they got to where they were going and everyone was talking about how everything in there house was shaking. Scaaaaarry :shock:

i guess im oblivious... im about 30 minutes (a little over an hour southeast of Tucson) from the border of Mexico and didnt feel a thing lol

We didn't feel it up here in Ventura County. Our families in Orange County felt it though!

I heard about it on the radio, I am glad that you are ok

my daughter called me tonight, but I was resting and did not answer the phone....now I know why she called, she is in So Cal.

She is fine.

You just never know what can occur...from now on, I will always answer the phone.

Not unusual for some to feel it and others not. We lived on Oregon coast in 1980, about 250 miles from Mt. St. Helens. My SIL lived in Salem, about 156 miles from the mountain. When it blew, we felt it and they didn't in Salem!!!!

It rolled forever. I told DH it could stop because it was making me sick to my stomach.(I tend to get sea sick too). You know, they don't usually bother us out here, we are used to them. We call the good ones an E ride at Disneyland. Any of you old enough to remember the D & E rides?? ;)

I'm old enough and this quake was definately an E ticket :!:

Praise God you are all ok. Blessings

Ive been through them all - Sylmar, Northridge, Whittier (when I actually lived in Whittier). This one was the longest I can recall.

I am, and yes, it was like that.

was there any damage? or injuries?

They red tagged my husband's office in Calexico. There was minor damage, but the building connecting his had quit a bit. My parents had minor damage with things falling of shelves and breaking.
