it was here. I honestly thought the building was going to tear in two or have the floor collapse beneath me.
me and the J-spec(japanese) guy that sits next to me, start looking at each other. then it REALLY Shook. "i thinka we should a go outside" he says...
i'll tell the truth, kinda scare the poo out of me.

The Epicenter was literally right under my house
I just got home to check things out, and a lot of things that were just sitting loose on shelves were on the floor. Worst was at my computer desk. Notice the stein cup that had fallen but caught on the paper catch of my printer.
Computer was sitting on its side. Plant stands outside all over were knocked over. Window shutters had come loose from their catch's and were hanging open. What I was most worried about is I had a car sitting on jack stands without wheels. So was expecting to find it pan caked on the floor. But all good on that issue.
Walking around the house, I saw a BUNCH of minor cracks in the stucco. Only real repair is the rear porch light was shaken loose from the wall and perhaps one crack that is really noticeable. See picture.
At the time, the wife was in the back of the store at the Chino Hills Bed Bath and Beyond with my grandson. She said she grabed him then ran toward the front door with stuff falling down all around her like in the movies. When I was able to connect with her on her cell, she was sitting in the parking lot still pretty shaken.
Me, I didn't **** my pants. But I seem to have developed a case of the runs.
THIS was an E Ticket ride.
