so far I hear no damage in LA, at least no buildings collapse
Not quite...
My mom's building has damage. She lives roughly 25 miles from Chino Hills. It doesn't look catastrophic, but we're praying that it's just cosmetic and not structural.
Praxeus, I'm assuming all is well with you and there's no damage where you are...
I live 20 miles from Chino Hills. I was getting ready for work when I heard a BOOM! and then the building started shaking for about 4-6 seconds.
I've been through some big earthquakes (Sylmar, Whittier Narrows, Northridge), and though they're scary, I'll take an earthquake over a tornado or hurricane any day.
