earthquake!

No big A-Shocks since.

I was in the ocean when it happened. Didn't even know there was an earthquake until I got out and the Jr. Lifeguard organizer was freaking out.

Funny story...I was getting in the car (2008 328i) in the parking garage to head to the yard to pick up some scraps for the 3.5 swap.

My gf and I are sitting there and I start the car the entire car starts shaking violently. I had never felt a car make that sort of shake before, plus the thing only has 10k miles on it. She panics, thinking the car is broken, while I'm looking at all of the other cars in the garage rock back and forth. By the time we both figured out what it was, turned off the car and sat there it was over. I didn't want to stick around in the parking garage if there was a larger aftershock. Nothing hit though, so that's good! Nothing was broken in the apartment either. Hope everyone made it out fine, I'm sure they did.

I'm really hoping that the big one doesn't hit until I'm outa here.

nearly fell of a ladder at work, good thing i was able to get off before the big surge !

Damn I'm reconsidering moving to SoCal. I love knowing that fault line is really the earth settling down from volcanic activity.

Everyone go watch "Volcano" with Tommy Lee Jones.

It's so much fun. Earthquakes are like hitting the lottery. On the East Coast you deal with the nightmares of long term (multiple hours/days of weather).

it felt like ten 300lb men jumping in my room

Dude, that's gay

Awesome that all of you guys get to talk about it. If that happened in NC, most of would clearing trees of our cars.

But seriously, where can I buy that body kit? Under 15k preferably. Anyone?

my friend was wrenching under an evo....ive never seen someone scramble out from under a car so fast. Smart of him, as the car was rocking on the jack stands.

^ I think the Snap-on jack stands are earthquake safe :p

I felt the San Jose one a little while back, it was my first, pretty damn cool.

HOLY SHIT! I cant even imagine having a car up on jack stands and being underneath during a quake...

As for me I was taking a mid afternoon nap with my girl...She jumped out of bed and freaked. I just laid there and took it all in.

Just found out my buddies 325ic fell on the front rotors b/c he had it on jackstands in his driveway. One brembo rotor is trash and on the other side the strut kind of ripped through the tower. how sad!!

Hmm... seems that there was a small(ish) 3.0 quake tonight in western WA.

Hopefully these aren't precursors to the big quake that is supposed to hit the west coast some time soon.

L.A. is just a mess of fault lines on top of one another. The real scary thing is that these fault lines are compounded and are so deep within the earth's crust that if one layer shifts, they all shift; which equals massive earthquake throughout the L.A. area.

Plus, if that happens they will create a ricochet from one length of L.A. to the other continually setting off more earthquakes. Sounds like fun.
