While I was getting out of the shower my house started to shake. Earthquake!!!! I was hoping it was the “Big One” since scientists have been talking about it since I was a kid but it wasn’t.
The earthquake was pretty sizable though. Quake.usgs.gov reports at 11:42 p.m. Tuesday July 29, 2008 “the magnitude 5.8 event occurred 3 km (2 miles) SW of Chino Hills, CA.” About 15 aftershocks were just reported in surrounding areas.
All cell phones are currently out of service. It’s ridiculous!!!! Demand a refund on your bill! Cell phone are suppose to work at all times! If all the cell phone circuits are busy over a dinky little earthquake like this, imagine what would happen if something major happened.

UPDATE: The size of the earthquake was just downgraded to 5.4.
Glad you’re ok! And at least I was able to reach my Cali crew by text message. This is making me re-think my upcoming visit, though lol.
