So I thought I was crazy, but I literally was jolted out of bed at 1AM- and I mean sat straight up. My bed was totally shaking and it went on for about 30seconds. I thought I'd just woken up because my BlackBerry had just gotten an email and I was out of it.
I wake up this AM and just have to find out. See below!!!:shock:
Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- A magnitude-4.5 earthquake struck the Greater Los Angeles area, the U.S. Geological Survey said in an e-mailed statement.
The epicenter of the temblor, which hit today just before 1 a.m. local time, was 45 kilometers (28 miles) northwest of Los Angeles Civic Center and seven kilometers north-northwest of Chatsworth, said the USGS, which measures seismological events.
The quake was felt by people across Los Angeles County, the Associated Press reported. Residents in the Los Angeles area were awakened and some items were knocked off shelves and walls, AP said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or major damage, AP said, citing Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

hmmmm......can't remember
Ummmmm.....I think it might be time for you to head East Kimmi. Haven't you had enough funn in La La Land?
Yeah. C'mon back. We'll cook you up a nice hurricane or tornado or flood or wildfire.
Beware of the dented cans. Could contain Botulism.
Ah, Joe. The voice of reason. You don't eat cookie dough because of the raw eggs, do you? And yet you'll kayak with a Gator or relocate a poisonous snake. As my dear Hop would say (with love and respect, I hope,) you're a walking contradiction.
I mean...if it's not one thing, it's another.
My boss in Malibu said the water was under her house.
If we DO break off, am I on the island, or the mainland? Let's hope the island.
That's the spirit! At least you'll be closer to the beach, right?
If I lived there, I would invest in a Nerf house with all Nerf furnishings. I would love to be in a ping pong ball factory during an earthquake, wouldn't you?

My first earthquake went down one year to the day that I left NY to come to LA. Hmmm:scratch:

And look what happened in NYC yesterday-- The first tornado EVER in Brooklyn, and floods. I heard a snippet on the radio from Leno this morning. He said that Al Gore had the best day of his life yesterday.
