Today we had a 5.4 magnitude earthquake here in SoCal. The epicenter was about 20 miles away from where we work. I was at clinicals at a pretty new hospital when it happened - the hospital is on rollers they said, so we were moving all over the place - up, down, side to side. When it started shaking we all moved into a doorway to wait it out...but it kept going and going and going - pictures on the wall were swinging. Even the native Californians said that it was a really long one. I've never felt a big quake before, but we've had a few little ones, there have been probably 5 since we've been here. Just this last weekend we were sitting on the couch and there was a loud crack and just a little jolt and then it was done - nothing to really even make a fuss over but today was way different! We were rockin and rollin and it just wouldn't stop! It was actually quite scary! The power went out at our apartment, all the clocks are flashing, but other than that everything seems in its place - no more earthquakes for me please!
