I'm fine, it was my very first earthquake. Scared the hell outta of me, saw tv fell and I grabbed my son and ran out the door. We're doing fine now, tv isn't

The lamps were swinging here - really rolling for a long time. No damage.

I hate these things. Been in LA my whole life and you never get used to them.

Glad you and your boy are OK.

I just got back from Bajamar, Mexico around noon. I've still got two friends down there in loose built houses, hope there doing alright.

I was in the MB area at the time - in a house - never felt an earthquake like this before. And I knew it was a big one - grabbed my daughter and ran out of the house. The pool in the back was sloshing around a lot - was thinking of running back in to get the camera, but my daughter didn't want me to leave her - I don't blame her. Usually the quakes are a rumbling shaking, but this was weird to feel the whole earth and everything around us moving like that. My dad thought it was a 4 or 4.3, I knew it was bigger. Was anyone out on the water at 3:40pm?? Notice anything? I figure you would not.

I was at dog beach in Coronado. The sand was vibrating a little under foot. Very mild movement kind of neat/strange being on the beach during an earthquake. I supposed if the sand opened up in a fischer it wouldn't be so mild of an experience.
