5.7. epicenter around chino hills. I heard it was around 10 seconds, but in my building the shocks and rollers mitigated the effect. I only felt a brief sway for a couple seconds. Pretty trippy in a high rise.

I'm so used to earthquakes its not even funny.

That was pretty crazy for us here in Ontario. Body kits stayed on the shelves, but the whole place was shaking out of control!

I'm in Walnut/Diamond Bar, the city right next to Chino Hills and it was crazy. All my crap fell off my shelves and things broke in the house

I was in the shower! I didn't know whether to get out or rinse off my shampoo. Then I decided to finish my shower.
