There was a 6.5 earthquake 110 miles to the north of Los Angeles.

I have often been curious and thankful I supose when it comes to Earthquakes...I was born in maryland, moved to Maine. So they have never been a real issue. I think Maine has had like 2 in State history...tiny baby ones too.

Yah, have you guys heard them talk about Cambria on the news? That's the town I live in. It's pretty crazy around here right now, but I think most everyone's alright. I heard a couple people died in Paso Robles...I'll get back to you all with more in a bit, keep us in your prayers.

EDIT

I felt that earthquake all the way up here in San Francisco.

Wow, I hope everyone's okay.

We had an earthquake about a week ago in Virginia. I felt it in my dorm room. Earthquakes are pretty rare here, and this was probably the first one in my lifetime.

I remember that! We felt it all the way down here in NC. It was strange.

I'm sorry, but that was in terrible taste. People *died* in this, we could at least have a little respect here? ^sigh^

Jokes are the last thing everyone needs right now. My prayers are with those involved in this situation.

I've never been in an earthquake. Scary! The closest thing I've ever felt to an earthquake was... a gasline exploding several miles away during a heavy rainy season with flooding of the rivers back in... 1991. Rattled the windows, thought it as an earthquake at first - but, no, just a big BOOM.

We felt it over in San Bernardino, though not as strongly, obviously. Actually, I'm glad Rashiir reported in, since he was the one I was concerned about.

I've been through a lot of earthquakes while living in California. Fortunately, everyone I know still out there barely felt it. I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

there was an earthquake???????/

whoa!! i live in LA and i didnt feel i thing!

I saw the news on TV, but i didn't feel it...it looked really terrible...I'm praying for everyone who was effected

Glad everyone's alright.

I felt the one Earthquake in VA. I thought it was kinda cool, actually, but yeah, I understand how bad it can be in some places. Still, if people thought that was bad, just wait til the two in Revelation...

OldPhil's grandma (who is with us now) is from the area where the earthquake hit. I'm glad she wasn't there when it happened.... She called her friends, and they're all okay.

Rashiir, I *love* Cambria. It's such a beautiful town. We vacationed there a few weeks ago.

Earthquakes can be terrible... but honestly, I'd rather live in Earthquake Country than Tornado Country...

I think I'd have to agree with you there. I've been in a small tremor that moved my bed to the middle of the room, but nothing close to a real earthquake. However, the thought of tornadoes ... I would just rather deal with an earthquake I think. But thankfully, I don't have to deal with either at my current position. Just ice storms and blizzards.

I live in the last place you would feel an earthquake... lol

I'm glad everyone's alright!

I was driving when it happened, so I thought I blew a tire or something because my car started going crazy. Everyone around me slowed down and pulled over, but I just kept going. They all gave me looks like "What is he thinking!?!" and "What an idiot" as I sped by them. I didn't realize it had been an earthquake until the people I was picking up told me...

Wow ... that must have been really weird. I wouldn't have known what was going on either.

oh. . . sry I don't watch the news, to many bad things happen *I didn't mean any disrespect* that's terible !

(despirately seeking answer) Can'

I wish I could be through an earthquake (and live). I'd like to know what it feels like...I live in GA, and I doubt we'll ever have a big one here. I don't know of any that's happened during my lifetime, but a while back I heard about one here. As for tornados, I've been through a few, none that actually did damage I don't think, but still....I HATE TORNADOES! Man...those things scare me.

No, Volt, "they," to whomever you may be referring, cannot "fix the fault line." It is impossible. . .and your post just makes me realize that we do need to be more concerned as to the poor state of science education.

Be nice, please.

Ok.
