MAJOR Earthquake hits Orange County - Anaheim/Tustin area

Just had a Major shaker here in Tustin!

8:41 PM

More than likely, most Disneyland resort Rides have gone 101!

Who else just felt the earthquake?

I'm in Vista (CA), and we felt a quick little bump, nothing more. I don't know if there's a report of it yet, but I thought I'd ask, anyways. Who else felt it?

Re: Earthquake!


According to the USGS web site, it was a 5.0 at 8:39 p.m., about 25.5 miles northwest of Disneyland.

EDIT: USGS just downgraded it from 5.0 to 4.7.

Re: Memorial Day in the Parks?

in a word... crowded... didn't know SoCal was open... that'll make it worse!

*EDIT.... This was in regards to a Memorial Day question... not sure how it was merged into the Earthquake thread, my apologies! To answer the basic questions, yes we felt it, yes we're ok, yes it was an earthquake... etc.
