CHESSNOID

Whenever we have unusual weather here in southern California like extreme heat after some  cool temperatures,  earthquakes seem to  happen.  Tonight at 8:40 we had a 5.0 shaker that seemed to last for 15 seconds centered near Lennox, CA.  My mom actually lives near the epicenter.  I called her and she said things fell of her shelf.  Luckily nothing broke.

I think most long time California residents are used to the shaking so too many people panic. I live about 40 miles away in Irvine on the top floor of our apartment building.  I think the shaking is magnified the higher up you live.  Nothing broke in my home.  Hopeully everyone is OK and that the aftershocks are not too bad.
