A whole lotta shakin' going on.

That was my first earthquake experience! Having lived in The Netherlands all my life, all I had to worry about (well, not really ofcourse) were floods.

Check this out.

Sorry for not posting anything baseball related, but that was a first for me... Entire house started shaking here (Irvine).

Seems like a pretty serious one. Hope everyone is fine. And hope Angel Stadium is fine, too ;-)

Yes I know I need seventy five words but I really, really, really don't have more to say right now.

Here in Laguna Niguel it was pretty strong too.

Strongest one I’ve felt in a long time. I guess the good news is that my first instinct was to run for cover under the door frame. All of those safety lessons in kindergarten paid off!

I felt it in Westlake Village

Strong enough the shake the ground, but not nearly strong enough to any damage out here.

Hope everyone is OK.

As a resident of the midwest who has never been through a serious quake,

hope you guys are okay out there. CNN made it sound moderately serious.

I hate those things.

I’m not exactly sure how the Richter scale works but isn’t each point mean it’s like 10 or 100 times stronger? The ones in the 90’s (Northridge/Landers) were way stronger. This one wasn’t bad at all where I was (Westminster Mall)

It's a log scale...

...6 is 10 times stronger than a 5, a 7 is 100 times stronger, an 8 is 1000 times stronger.

And 5.4 is 40 times weaker than 5.8

Francisco Rodriguez: 190 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.

4 times.

Right. 4 times. D'oh.

It was actually meant as a post to correct the magnitude, which was downgraded from 5.8 to 5.4
