It wasnt even a very big quake. Though my work did evacuate our buildings for about 15 minutes after it happened.

I was fairly close to the epicenter, and 5.8 is not small. I guess shit my pants was not an accurate description, but I was under my desk QUICK like. I can still feel the added adrenaline in my system, kinda like the old stat loss UO shakes.

Earthquakes always give me that shot of adrenaline of being scared but alert, happens every time you never get used to it. I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life, so I've been through tons of quakes, and each one is just as scary as the last one. It must totally freak ppl out who aren't used to it, heh. Glad all you ho's are ok. Tag, the Bay Area is it, we're next...

Yeah dude, I was in my office at work when it hit (in Ontario) and we're not far from Chino Hills at all. Whole building shook pretty good, and we have lots of large, heavy items that can smash people. Luckily, nothing fell off any shelves and no one died, but it was a pretty good jolt.
