  10. i was sitting in a customer car holding the engine at raised rpm when the thing started to get all wobbly. i thought...oh great...thi thing is going south....made sure it was in park, brought the engine down and its still shaking...

    so i step out of the car and i'm shaking...i figgered it was my past coming back to haunt me and i was having an 'episode'...untili looked over and saw the other cars in the shop oscillating too...then i remembered...i live in california.

    Real boring compared to 1994, 1991, 1987 or 1971.

    That was wild.
    No damage.
    Ground felt like jello for about 15 20 seconds.
    One thing fell off a shelf.

    Yeah Chris! That wasn't too far from you! You must have got a good shake up there. I was walking to my car and all of a sudden I thought maybe I had a drunk spell or something! HAHAH! Shook things up pretty decent down here, but no damage at all...

    I never thought an earthquake in Cali would actually make news with the "locals". Just the rest of the country.

    Rocked pretty good in Thousand Oaks, seems like it lasted almost a minute. We had several cars on hoists, they just swayed around a bit. All is well. I heard it was centered in Chino Hills better than 7 miles deep.

    It was alright. I was expecting it to get stronger.
