just experienced an earthquake, which happened in San Bernardino (approx 4 hours drive away from Irvine). it was 5.0 on the richter scale. that's moderate but quite a biggie for a first-timer like me! people across california felt it, including huilin, who immediately msned me. i didnt even thought of it as a plate moving! One guy from i dunno where, but seemingly in San Bernardino itself, said this "I am watching the national college football game. I jumped up to save my tv"... like he was playing football real life as well! Another: "Thats it! Im moving to IRAQ where its safe". And another person said "Felt it in Vista, CA (North San Diego County). Bird flew off the cage". That's quite something to feel it in San Diego and have a bird fly out! In Irvine, we just shaked gently. My first thought was someone climbing up the stairs really hard and fast. Cos Park West is not really made out of concrete totally. Ha.. that was a funny thought.
