Earthquake in Pasadena.
UPDATE: Well, you can’t see the chandeliers rocking very well here. 🙂 Pretty much a solid jolt to the restaurant, as if a large truck had rolled into the building (not smashed, but solidly impacted), with light rolling for another 20 seconds thereafter.
Cell service is still down/packed, but managed to (a) get an IM from Jim & Ginger that all is well with them, and Katherine thought her first quake was “awesome” (they just did the Discovery Museum yesterday and visited the Quake House), (b) get a call from my Mom that they (and my brother’s family) are all okay, and (c) exchange IMs with Margie.
Quake was centered in the Chino Hills, about 30 miles from here, and midway between the two sets o’ ‘rents.
