Our family gathered in Costa Mesa on Friday night before our trek to Magic Mountain to ride the roller coasters. We got our pre-courser to the rides when the earthquake struck. Needless to say, we all got up--only the kids slept through it.
It was very disappointing that the local TV stations did not come on with any mention about the earthquake until a half hour after the occurance. It was obvious it was a "big one" and the TV stations should have immediately broken in to report the fact that it had occurred, even if they didn't have any further information.
We had to go on-line to get information about the earthquake. We instant messaged back and forth with family members closer to the epicenter. The first word we received of the magnitude and location was in our own instant messaging.
What happened to the TV coverage? They seem to break in with "breaking news" with every other event. Why not this one? Was it not near enough?

Disneyland is fine. They checked it out immediately after the quake and opened as usual the same day. Come to California...you'll love the ride!

There was a 5.1 aftershock tonight, wed, in Las Vegas. Some felt it. I don't think I want to go through that again.

Well, I live in the eastbay area, northern california, home to the infamous Hayward fault. It has been creeping and some microquakes have been logged the past few weeks. Working on an earthquake kit for the home and cars. Best defense is a strong offense, and a somewhat calm heart which comes with preparedness. Keep reviewing survival tips. May we help one another when the need rises if we can. I hope someone will e-mail or instant yahoo msg me after the Hayward Fault lets go. arease_2000@yahoo.com Thanks.

I can't wait to get back home to California after my husband is out of the army, earthquakes or no. I just hope home-sweet-home doesn't fall off into the ocean the day after I get there, with my luck.

i hope no one was injured, i live in the uk so i've never experienced an earthquake and hopefully never will! it's ashame that nature can be so bad at times, and can't be good all the time...still at least it wasn't very big so thats the bright side of things. A TIP FOR ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE: never look on the bad side of things, always look at the good side. it always helps
luv to you always

We were living in Los Angeles in 1946, I woke up with the bed moving up and down, The door bell chimes were swaying and ringing, I thought to my self, This is an earthquake.we had no damage but the big water aqaducts were broken, cost a bundle to repair them, I have visited Los Angeles several times since, No one there jokes about earthquakes or Los Angeles falling off into the ocean. I am 87 years old and I do not think I want to live around earthquakes.You can have them, I don't want them I am scared of such things

why do you want me to add a message? do you want to suggest an addition,or is that a standard offer.There is no guarantee whatever,I hasten to add,of any kind of authenticity in this l.a.thing coming into my mind like so many others,some proven,some of which not yet;i am not a professional psychic,just another universally curious mind,hit and miss.ta ta.
