5.8 Earthquake

Below is the official news post for our most recent earthquake. I was at work in the Capitol Tower when it struck in Hollywood. (on 4th floor) The building swayed and jolted for about 10-15 seconds, and I decided between diving under the desk or running down the stairs to outside. By the time I even got to the stairs it stopped, but I went down anyway, as you never know how long any of the aftershocks or waves will last. I was not the only one, as many people were in the parking lot, not anxious to go back up. However, it was about it. A few smaller aftershocks were recorded in Diamond Bar, near by Chino Hills, but for the most part, no dammage reports, just a lot of "shaken up" people.


CHINO HILLS (KABC) -- A magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit late Tuesday morning two miles southwest of Chino Hills in San Bernardino County.
The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, and slightly in Las Vegas. It caused buildings to sway and triggered some precautionary evacuations.
No damage or injuries have been reported as a result of the earthquake.
The quake struck at 11:42 a.m. PDT. Buildings swayed in downtown Los Angeles and San Diego for several seconds.
