Dang, I thought it was the end of the world, not kidding, it was so loud, it was rocking, shaking motion, I ended up on my knees, not sure if I lost balance or got weak knees from being so scared. I couldn't do anything, couldn't grab any of the fur butts, they were scurrying around here & there, trying to hide. Things were being knocked over, glasses breaking, the angel porcelain collection my aunt has were decapitated!
Here's some cell phone shots of the damage in Fullerton, there were a couple of busted pipes which caused sinkholes in the ground. Some people had no water & there's many damage to the homes. There's so many cracks inside & outside of my aunt & uncle's home. My Dad is there tonight to fix things that fell (blind covers & lighting fixtures). I couldn't stay there any longer, felt the aftershocks this morning too, couldn't wait to get out of there! As we were leaving, there were news vans, taking pics.

How lucky is that car!Attachment 397802Attachment 397803 Not too far from the 1st sinkhole...Attachment 397804
Attachment 397805 There's a sinkhole in there...couldn't get any closer bc I had Princess & Turbo w/me, didn't want their paws to get wet w/that water...have no idea if it's toxic or not.


Have fun! The P clan got so lucky!
Very scary! I can imagine it was very difficult to sleep with the aftershocks. Sorry to hear your aunt had so many things broken in her home. Glad you are all safe!
