Authorities say a magnitude-5.3 earthquake has shaken the Los Angeles area.

The U.S. Geological Survey originally estimated the quake to be a magnitude-5.3. It said the Friday quake struck at about 9:11 p.m. and was centered near Brea in Orange County -- about 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

About an hour earlier, a 3.6 quake hit nearby in the city of La Habra.

Is this bad? I hope not. I hope all our LA members are ok and were not affected if it is an extreme quake than normal.

 

In live 4 miles from the epicenter. I was damn right on top of that one. It was pretty damn intense. Nothing broken but I have been picking up stuff from the floor. Great to be on crutches now! Ha.

It has been very quiet for a long time but this is not abnormal, we may be going back to normal earthquake patterns...

 

West Coast forum members, sound off. We want to make sure you guys are okay.

Glad you're okay, FG!

 

Thank you.

 

And you'd better be seated while typing to us!

 

Lol. No other option atm.

 

Thank you. I couldn't bear the thought of another injury to those gorgeous tootsies of yours.

 

:freehug: Yay!! Awesome!... you and Saty came to mind (and Big D and LA and IB!)

So you really broke your foot?? Sorry to hear if so...

BTW, atm also means ass-to-mouth... I always have to mentally re-assess the poster and context to determine which atm

 

And you know this...why? ;-)

 

Trapped under this rubble, somebody come and get me.

 

Yes, I did. And lmao!!! Hahahs

 

See what you did there. Good point lol

 

Well, FG's on crutches. Shall we send Raider?

 

v

Raider or bugle to then rescue!

 

LOL @ "Great to be on crutches" and having to pick up stuff fallen over on the floor.

Nice to hear all is okay FG. Earthquakes are scarier than a mug to experience. Nothing like the feeling of the building shaking and the Earth moving beneath you. You were very close to that one, wow.

Hope your foot heals well and you are back to your active self soon.

 

:smt043:smt043:smt043

If FG was off her crutches and healed she would have kicked the Earthquake's butt.

 

I'm glad everyone on the West Coast is okay.

 

LMAO

 

LMAO.. Dealing with men on a football forum and wondering why they always kept talking about ATM machines?? :smt017 So I asked...:???:

 

Will miss you....

We forgot about Numbers...plus he looks strong enough.

Effing hilarious visual!!

Anyway, glad you earthquake vets are ok.
