Its size rattled nerves but cause no major damage or injuries. Two minutes after the earthquake hit, a large boulder — the size of an SUV — was reported blocking multiple southbound lanes of Interstate 5, about a mile south of Grapevine Road, the California Highway Patrol said. The boulder was cleared by Wednesday morning.

The earthquake, originally estimated at magnitude 5.3, struck at 9:09 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by dozens of aftershocks of magnitude 2.5 and up, including a magnitude 4.5 earthquake that occurred less than a minute after the first, and a magnitude 4.1 temblor at 9:17 p.m.

You Lefties cry about everything.

You seemed genuinely stunned every time California has an earthquake no matter how small.
But then, you never learn do you.

Sounds like a typical day in Alaska!

Here in the SF Bay Area, we breathe a sigh of relief. I called my cousin in Sherman Oaks and she told her cat freaked out, leaving a trail of cat poop around the house.
