Earthquake hits Los Angeles to San Diego

July 29th, 2008 // 69 Comments

In case you guys are in a bubble, a major seismic event (a.k.a. a freaking 5.8. earthquake) was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego. CNN reports:

The quake’s epicenter was about 2 miles southwest of Chino Hills and about 5 miles southeast of Diamond Bar, the USGS said. Chino Hills is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
There were no immediate reports of injury or damage in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey told The Associated Press. San Bernardino County fire dispatch did not have reports of damage, AP said.

No major injuries which means Heidi and Spencer are still alive. Dammit, God, you missed! I hear the phone lines are a mess, but from the sound of it, everyone’s just a bit “shaken up.” Get it? I’m horribly inappropriate. But in all seriousness, The Superficial hopes everyone’s doing alright and your loved ones are safe. (Unless you’re related to Ashton Kutcher, then I rescind my prior statement.)

    Recently, quite a few celebrities and pro athletes were said to appear on the millionaire luxury club “R I C H L O V I N G.C O M” to hook up with hot girls, ladies, models… OMG!!! Are these famous guys fond of internet dating for now?? Maybe they are indeed so rich that they feel boring sometimes to need new things? It was reported on MSN Charlie Sheen has found his girl there last May

    #34…I’m with you. I’m 3rd generation Califormian and I can tell you this state was a great place to grow up in the 50s and 60s.

    Then we had an influx of shitkickers from the midwest, the south, and back east. Now they have all fucked up California and have the gall to bitch about it and refer to it as “That land of fruits and nuts.”

    NOTE: All of you go back to wherever the fuck you came from. Then we Californians can secede from the United States, form a new country, apply to the USA for foreign aid, and live happily ever after.

    Of course we’d have to wait until Bush is out of office so he doesn’t start a war with us for causing Hurricane Katrina.

    #50, I wish you would shut your “unedecated” mouth. you are making us Californians look stupid. Move to Canada now!

  12. @50…Wrong again pedro.

    California doesnt lead the the country in medical research, robotics etc. That would be the “Research Triangle” of Raleigh/ Durham NC. You ought to have heard of it as Duke, UNC, Wake Forest and NC State whip the west coasts ass in pretty much every collegiate sport there is.

    As as far as the BS about having to have a 4.0 to get in to a college in Cali, wrong again. You guys have the highest population of illegal aliens in your colleges and I can damn sure guarantee they didnt have 4.0s to get in. Your little bleeding hearts felt sorry for them, so youve succeeded in dumbing down what WAS a decent educational system, to mediocre at best.

    Want an example?…your quotes about the education system are false. Look it up einstein. Another one? Polio vaccine was invented by Louis Salk at the University of Pittsburgh. Another? The largest stem cell reserach facility is at The University of Wisconsin and, again, The University of Pittsburgh. I can give more if you like, but I think those prove my point that you must be a recent graduate of one of theose “stellar” establishments.

    Face it…the way things are going, your colleges will soon be offering English as you second language. Way to go and stand up for the fact that this is america and if one wants to be here, they need to abide by American rules and languages.

    You ought to check your spelling when calling others “uneducated”, as you mispelled the word itself… ironic huh?

    And no, I live in a house I own, in a beach community with 7 years of UNC educational system education. Sorry to disappoint you, but the highlights of my day arent the same as yours you listed.

    Im pleased to know, as I guessed, that you think its fun being a dumb ass. Now put you “Obama is my homeboy” tshirt on and go climb some trees in protest, or play some frisbee at the latest “Al Gore is god” gathering with the other 30 idiot libs in your section 8 apartment complex. You are dismissed.

    @60 -3rd generation? so youre not a local either then huh, Juan? Well how about a little history of the “golden shower” state. It was formed and populated in its earliest days by those you call shitkickers from the midwest, the south and back east. You seem mad because its not all mexicans and gang members. Those poor blacks huh?…you guys keep getting racially profiled as gang members and hoodlums. If you were to succeed, you wouldnt get any government financial aid, which is what most of you live on and need because of al lthe fires.earthquakes/social policies for drug addicts/illegals and poor ex cons. Bush wouldnt need to start a war. Wed send over all the hunters, race car drivers and dominant sports players to bitch stomp all you pansy liberals. It could actually just be a verbal war, where we could insult you guys until youre crying and waving your white flags like your buddies the french.

    where the hell would you idiots go for vacation if cali fell into the pacific?

    It is a good thing Kim Kardaskank always wears a girdle or else the earthquake would have had her big fat sqaure ass flapping up and down!

  15. Thousands of articles appeared within hours of the July 28th Chino Hills quake. Hundreds of those articles cited the quake’s proximity to the San Onofre Nuclear Plant. Hundreds also cited the loss of cell phone availability. Had the quake resulted in damage to the nuclear facility emergency planning would have been seriously hampered.

    Perhaps California needs to seriously consider the impacts of allowing aging reactors to extend current operating licenses for an additional twenty years. Both reactor facilities have recently been licensed to store high level radioactive waste onsite. And both reactor facilities are located on earthquake active coastal bluffs.

    If you would like to ensure that production of highly radioactive waste is limited to current operating licenses (2025 term), please contact the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, http://www.a4nr.org

    The news reports were wrong, the shaking and rumbling was just Khloe Kardashian falling down some steps…all joking aside.
    California is a great state. FOR SOME PEOPLE. And by some people, I mean the coolest, most awesomest kind of people. I am a first generation California Barrio Princess, proud of it. Although I can appreciate the beauty of each of the 50 states, except for North Carolina, Wtf is there in North Carolina, is it like Texas junior? And California doesn’t have to prove itself in College Football-we have mickey mouse, Huntington Beach, Venice Beach, Big Sur, San Francisco, Napa Valley, need more reasons to come visit? Oh and by the way California Mexicans are BETTER!
