Oh yeah, it was TOTALLY felt down here. Not only was it felt, but things actually came falling off shelves. I just posted this in the Right Now thread: quote:Um, yeah, RN y'all needed to be down here! Started out a bit of a roller, just a bit, enough to look up from my computer and go "oh, it's a quake." And after about 10 seconds, looked back down at my work and then WHAM!!!!! Things went flying off of shelves (and landing on me and my computer), the cats went running, *I* went running. It was only about 58 miles from me, so I felt that one and good! It wasn't an aftershock of the Easter quake. (I just opened a closet door and a bunch of boxes of shoes came tumbling out.)
That was definitely a scary one, folks! The San Jacinto fault line is "capable of" of 7.5, so that wasn't the big one. But it sure felt big! I think my heart finally has slowed down!

Costa, I won't be coming either. Did the quake take your mind off how cold you were?

LOL! Nah, it just made me more made at Ma Nature. I mean, seriously, this is getting old. Constantly being shaked, rattled, and rolled and then she refuses to at least give us the sunshine we are known for. Sheesh! BTW, for those of you up north (especially Pamy in the Inland Empire), the reason y'all felt it so strongly up there is the San Jacinto stretches for about 140 miles towards the Inland Empire. So y'all got the end shakers, you know, like when you're doing the whip with a line of people and the last person really gets it whipped around? Up till recently, I'd take our quakes over tornados and hurricanes any day. And still, here in San Diego, we are pretty far away from any major faults that could cause buildings to tumble. They just get your heart racing a bit and give the news folks plenty to talk about. No damage though. None really, since the Easter one (and most of the damage was at or south of the border).

FINALLY heating up!!! It's currently 63 degrees. Which is about 1 degree more than it was most of last week during the warmest part of the day. Yay! Summer is FINALLY here! (I freaking had to go to northern California the end of last week, just to see the sun!)

By the way, thanks for sending all the sun down here. We went from zero to 60 (no sun and winter to lots of sunshine and warmth) in no time flat. Oddest weather ever. It's a balmy 70 out right now and it's not even 9am! I am loving it! Next winter we'll send YOU some sunshine, Dfennessey!

We are now up to 76 degrees. I can't remember when we last hit anything above 75. It's gloriously beautiful outside, too. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky, a lovely gentle breeze. Just perfect.

Hot with no morning overcast. Long Beach felt like a mild Vegas today. And I don't have A/C.. this afternoon I switched out the space heater for the fan pointed at my chair here.

HOT. The house has cooled down to 89.8 degrees, at 2am. Down from the 90+ it was during the day. No AC here either. Just fans placed all over the house.

Again, yay! No morning overcast! Currently 68 degrees today, with a high expected here in the city of 78. About darned time! I have air conditioning but hate to use it. I get lovely coastal breezes and just open up the house to catch them. The only time I turn on the air is when there's a Santa Ana and the breezes are not the lovely cool coastal ones.

74 at 9:41 am and sure to rise. It got to 83 yesterday but felt much hotter and both other cities I'm hitting today were 88 yesterday. Forecast says it will hit 95 inland. ICK.
