Over a thousand aftershocks and Ridgecrest just got hit with a 7.1 (eleven times higher than yesterday's quake).  I am hoping for the best for all my friends in RC and am so glad my grandsons are visiting me now.  We sold our two story in Ridgecrest 7 mths ago ( hope it's alright but glad we don't have to coordinate possible repairs from afar).

I have a brother who lives in CA...hope he is doing okay...he should be at work right now....Disney....I have never experienced an earthquake except a very mild one when the windows in our school rattled a bit...can’t imagine a more helpless and terrifying feeling with these stronger ones.

@lovesrecess :  If your brother is in Anaheim he felt it but shouldn't be any damage there.

I'm in north LA County and we are definitely feeling them, just had another small one a minute ago.  My son works in Ridgecrest and called the office and they all ran outside and saw all their neighbors all in the streets.

A little scary, but its better to have smaller ones to relieve pressure.  I have oversized letters spelling LOVE perched on one shelf and the "V" fell over.

As I'm typing this, just got anther aftershock...yikes, it might be a long night.

I’m a follower of Earthquake Alerts on Twitter....

and there are pages & pages & pages of reported activity 

in that area all day long...levels of 2, 3, 4, 5+.

just talked to my s/o......he said he felt it and it definitely shook him up a bit. he has not felt that one that strong in quite a while. all is well though.

he is a bit worried that these could be "before shocks" rather than "after shocks."

Very Scary!!!! I live ten miles from downtown LA and this was definitely a 7.1!!! The windows were rattling and shaking and I did not know what to do as I was finishing up dishes in my kitchen... The rolling lasted longer and the whole bottom floor of my townhome shook!!!!

I’m 180 miles from the epicenter. I was outside watering, and suddenly the pool started sloshing back and forth.I grabbed the water slide I was standing next to and we were rocking and rolling for several seconds ! 😳

I am in San Diego. I have not felt anything, but my cats are really acting weird. Scared.
