We were visiting the grandkids in San Clemente and the quake felt like it was pretty close. Rolling waves lasting about 30 seconds. What a ride!! I bet Will Pierson farther South in Carlsbad experienced some strong shock waves as well!
I got an alert on the phone about that today.
The seismic guy said folks should use texting to communicate, instead of voice lines.
Funny. I wonder how many folks were injured in auto accidents because they couldn't talk to each other while driving.
Kidding aside, ya might want to stock up on your canned goods and water out there, guys. That whole Pacific Rim is acting funky.
Stay safe!

Vince are you SURE Ole Debbie didn't sneak a cannonball in the pool??
I was sitting on a couch and it felt like the house was hit by a wake from about a 30 ft. cabin cruiser. No damage, and we are fine!
In Escondido the quake lasted about a minute. With a small after shock about an hour later. Chrissy was in Balboa park and said that it was hard to walk and a fair amount of water sloshed out of the fountain. no damage or injuries here or at the park.

Nothing like being in the 2nd story family room if you want to amp up your ride - YEE HAW.
Honestly, after the first 30 seconds, I seriously considered abandoning the ship, but it all stopped about then. After 43 years in southern Cal you'd think you get used to this stuff. This one was a little stronger and lasted a little longer than the "usual". I'm sure the normal aftershocks will be arriving for the next few weeks.
Still beats floods and ice storms others are experiencing elswhere.

El Guapo, Diablo,
Shake, rattle and roll, NorCal wants the next one. Why should SoCal types have all the fun?
Also, lets not forget the 9.+ in Alaska, 1964 just before dinner.
Went through a couple of shakes in Japan - they know how to do serious earth quakes. Kyoto-Osaka comes to mind.
Applied for a really neat science position and was up against a guy from Pennsylvania, really tight competition, I was the underdog because of my age. We had a minor quake (3.2) and he bailed, said his wife was scared - yea! Greatest job I ever had!
Rock on...

It woke me up from my nap, and I almost spilled my beer.
That would have been tragic!

We were having drinks and getting ready for easter dinner at my Sisters House in Sierra Madre.. Lamps were just swinging back and forth and we were tripping then siad Hey I think were having a quake... sure enough... P.S. dinner was awesome...
I was putting the finishing touches on the second floor deck handrail. As I was nailing a 16d finish nail into the rail the deck started bouncing making it very hard to drive the nail.
Chrissa and I looked at each other and headed down the stairs and out the front door where we yucked it up with our neighbors. I won't say we ran but we got out of the house in record time!
Waited a few minutes and then finished nailing off the hand rail. Probably the best shaker I have ever felt in San Diego.
