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.

up here in LA it felt loooong, and it was a weird kinda quake. I started feeling nausea when i realized it wasnt me but that everYthing was swinging back and forth

. Kinda like being on a boat.

I was working in the ER and just stood there and watched a a couple bags of normal saline bouncing on the IV pole of one of our critical patients. I too felt nauseated and was amazed on how long it lasted and glad our hospital didn't pancake. Hope everyone made out ok

i was sitting in the middle of Coronado looking at this tundra that had a sweet kayak on top... i noticed it was looking wierd it seemed like there was a massive dog in the back of his truck running around.. then i finally came too and realized when i looked to the right on me the buger lounge resturant, the lights were slamming the walls.. it was longest earth quake ever. i was in greece back in 2002, 12 stories up in a hotel room and an earth quake lit us up.. glad everyone is ok.. another 5.0 just hit coronado at 6:33 am... check this link..
