| Earthquake! We just had a 5.8 Earthquake, here in Southern California.. it was centered about 10 min from my house!! I have grown up in S.CA. but you just never get used to the shakes!! I was doing some laundry and it began.. so the first thing i did was grab Avery! (she was laying on the couch, and began to kinda scatter!) I picked her up and stood in the doorway.. poor baby was shaking and her heart was beating! she was holding on to me so tightly! It was a pretty long one, it lasted about 30 seconds & was almost a 6.0 quake! Cabinets opened.. things fell off shelves.. my mom had a couple things break.. but everyone is ok. Hope all my CA friends on YT are ok and that their babies are not too frightened!

| I am about 10 miles away too. It was a pretty big shake! I am at work, our phones arent working so the only way I can find out about Bobby is via Text with my stepson who is home right now. He said Bobby freaked out but he is ok now. I am sure he was scared as I was! |

| Now I must turn the TV on and see if everyone is ok. I didn't feel a thing here, but we rarely do. Maybe stay away from those tall buildings because there are always after shocks and they can be just as bad. |

| I'm so glad you were home and able to comfort your baby. I was in downtown L.A. and when they evacuated I went home to check on the babies. They were sleeping soundly. Thank God!
