You ok bro? It's a small one. But be prepared for aftershocks or this could be a preshock.

ten aftershocks thus far, 3 of them 3.8+

I haven't felt anything, I guess my fine earthquake sense is not tuned.

My roommate (who's from Ventura county) is constantly going "omg! aftershock!"

[dandingo]

It was....incredible! I actually got some of it on video. Nothing exciting since it was smaller where I love but I'll post it once it's uploaded.

Damn, You guys are posting shit before the news does. lol

Hope everyone is safe.

Aren't animals supposed to be able to predict earthquakes? If so, I think our cat is broken.

Also, this does not merit a thread, but have a W T F.

We really need a [CHAT] thread or something.
