    Man, I just got down to San Diego when that one hit. It was my first earthquake and my apartment is on the 13th floor so I was like, "Screw this!" I ended up talong the damn stairs to street level.

    I felt it pretty big. It was about 5 minutes from me in a city called Lennox.

    Lennox is a small city between Inglewood and Hawthorne, mostly and mainly latino populated.

    Shook some shoes out of my wifes closet, lol

    Overall, it didnt last long, and neither did the aftershock


    Whats funny is when one hits, and if you dont panic and sit there for a second to take in whats happening around you, you see all kinds of funny stuff. Happened at work a few months ago, people were panicking, running back and forth as if they didnt know where to go, conversating about where to duck or stand... its really odd how things are so fast yet in slow motion.

    I felt it, but since I am at work right now it felt weaker. Apparently it's pretty close to where the one on Sunday was.

    Felt the original last night but neither of the aftershocks out here in Calabasas. No big deal.
