Welcome to California!

About 11:30ish. 5.4 on the Richter scale. Epicenter, 20 miles east southeast of LA, in Chino Hills of San Bernadino County . . . more specifically, about 10 miles northeast of our house. The house shook like I could not believe and continued to do so for about 15 seconds. For more details, check the USGS.
And just when I was dialing my mom to say, "Got room for two plus two dogs? We'll be there in three days," aftershock, 3.8 on the Richter scale.
And I thought Indiana warmed me up for this. Not so much. Now I'm listening to KPCC, where they're describing it in detail like a fine wine.
Just for the record: THIS IS OUR SECOND EARTHQUAKE IN A YEAR!
P.S. I am clearly not the only person shaken by this event. Check out the Fug Girls recovering from the rumble.

You get used to it. At least I did. I actually kind of enjoyed them in a roller coaster kind of way.

But then again, I am odd.
