Earthquake!
Wow! We were shaking pretty hard, but we are ok. It was a 5.8 located in Chino Hills about 10 miles from here. I haven’t been able to get a hold of Kai’s school, but I’m sure they’re fine. It felt like a truck ran into the house. It knocked pictures down and things off of shelves. It was very strong. Sol works on the 6th floor of a building, and I was on the phone with him while we were shaking! He said he was going to get out of the building. I was talking to him while he was under his desk. It was really scary and we just felt a pretty good aftershock!
Hopefully everything is ok. It’s not too big, but was centered in a pretty populated area. The news is saying that it knocked out phone service in the Inland Empire. You’ll see it on the news if you’re in CA.
Got to go, leaving for the hospital soon.

Glad to hear you’re okay post earthquake. If you need anything, let me know. I’m in the WACC directory. I felt the same shaking too the same way you did(a couple blocks away). It was a pretty good one. Kai’s school is full of very good teachers. I’m sure his entire class got under their lunch table immediately. 🙂 Take care of yourself!

So I didn’t know Whittier has it’s own fault line. YIKES!
