It was a pansy ass earthquake. Why you postin' about a baby roller? Of course, if you listen to the guy who lives near me on the news, you'd think it was some crazy big earthquake, but it barely qualified as more than a tremor. If I can look at it and think, eh, I would have slept through that, it isn't an earthquake.

Drake ain't got nothin' on me. His hardest moment was getting shot on TV. But seriously, a 5.3, be a quick one or a slow roller, is nothing. You shouldn't be acting like it's crazy or anything until it's in the mid-to-upper 6 range or higher.

Ok, but complaining about today's "quake" puts you in wheelchair jimmy territory and makes you as hard as Katy Perry.
The only excuse you need for a bug out bag is the gubmint of 'murica in its current iteration and the fact that you're hispanic in over-conservative and kind of racist OC.

Hmm, well now I'm now so sure. Do earthquakes make t!tties jiggle too? I might be for that.

Yup, but I call bull**** on a 5.1 causing a car to overturn. More like the person freaked out because they're not from here and did something stupid.

It's actually how implants are tested here. If they survive an earthquake, an angel get its wings.

Being a Southern California resident, I've experienced many earthquakes and I think it's important to realize one thing when evaluating them. Just like Real Estate, it's location, location, location.
The recent 5.1 La Habra quake may seem minor from a purely statistical perspective but for those who lost their chimneys, suffered broken windows, lost water service because of a broken waterline flooding streets and even those that just had dishes flying out of the cabinets or pictures shaken off the walls, it's not minor.
Part of the misunderstanding comes from having experienced a quake a distance from the epicenter. When I felt the 1971 Flintridge 6.6 shaker I naturally thought, 'so that's what a 6.6 quake feels like', not even factoring in the 100 mile distance I was experiencing it from. I got a better understanding in '87 when the Whittier Narrows quake hit. Being only 10 miles away, while it only measured a 5.9 on the scale, the sensory experience was much greater. I spent the next 2 years rebuilding stacks and re-stuccoing houses in those Whittier neighborhoods. Even after a year, many of my customers were still traumatized by that morning jolt.
I live within 2 miles of this recent 5.1 quake and while I had minimal damages, it was a violent shake. Minor in its range but anything but pansy___ to those who suffered loss.
Sometimes I complain about the oppressive seismic requirements in the current building code but events like this are a good reminder as to why they are there. Most of the tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars of damages from the Whittier quake were to older homes and businesses that weren't built with the many seismic countermeasures most of us enjoy today.
