It's coming people. Have a plan. I survived every earthquake from Sylmar to Northridge. I'm not suggesting moving like I be prepared as much as possible. If So Cal gets hit with a 7.5 or greater, you better hope you're on a flight out of there!

Dutchsinse called for a 5.0 to hit LA a few days ago..

If you've never lived through a big earthquake (say above a 5.0...) i've lived through 3 over 7.0 which, in anywhere else in the world would kill a lot of people. And you don't have time to be "scared" because the magnetic shock wave that precedes the actual shaking completely scrambles your brain and you kind of go blank for a second which i call a "hard restart" and THEN you feel it which is super weird.

Felt it in Lake Elsinore in the IE, just BARELY, like a half second tremor, but still barely. In fact for a second I thought maybe a gust of wind just hit the side of the house.

Felt the quake we had this morning and it was a pretty good jolt that shook the yard and woke me up out of a dead sleep 😮

There were several small quakes bf the big NorthRidge quake in January 1994.

God's Punishment and increases by the day.
We are still NOT Yielding..we are NOT stopping doing all types of sins.
May God help us.

Felt here in Santa Monica! I lived through Northridge in 94 and was in SF in 89 at the World Series game!

[GuilleeminaEstrada]

Well the world is full of sin now god is making justice

[catkeys]

Living in NY (on Long Island) I never knew what that feels like until we had a RARE minor one about 10 yrs ago or so. I was sitting at my desk at work, and it suddenly felt like I was on a floating dock that was bobbing up and down and side to side a little bit, for about 10 seconds or so. VERY weird.

This will only get worse...God is not happy with the evil, and is trying to "shake" and wake people up.
