5.8"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A magnitude-5.8 earthquake has struck just east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake's epicenter was about 2 miles southwest of Chino Hills and about 5 miles southeast of Diamond Bar, the USGS said.
The center was about 7.6 miles deep. In general, earthquakes centered closer to the Earth's surface produce stronger shaking and can cause more damage than those further underground.
A 5.8 magnitude quake is considered by the USGS to be "moderate," which can cause slight damage to buildings and others structures. About 500 can happen globally each year, the survey says."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Well, the TV says it isn't so bad.
I experienced a 5.0 in Bohol, so this was almost 10x that?Long time member @ Apolyton

Guess that it depends wether you are sitting on top of it or not
- though 5,8 shouldn't be bad in Cali.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

That makes sense. It seems odd that the TV would say that if it was 10x what I experienced.Long time member @ Apolyton

By comparison, the San Francisco quake of '89 was 6.9 (69 killed), the Los Angeles quake of '94 was 6.7 (72 killed). So this is about 10% of those."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

10x as much force produced in the initial waves ... that doesn't necessarily mean that it is 10x as bad, per se. IIRC, the 'bad' is a lot more determined by what kind of waves are being produced... but i'm not the geologist here.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

That's what I've heard too. At the time, I guessed that it was well up into the 6's and distant...maybe Palmdale on the San Andreas Fault. There was an initial large rolling motion that eased quickly but continued on and on and on. So I figured it was big but distant. I'm surprised to find it was smaller and closer than I thought.Originally posted by Asher

Apparently a building a few blocks away lost part of its facade. The floor above us lost some ceiling tiles. We have an old patched crack in our wall that opened again.
Nothing major.
I ran into the wife of one of my former roommates. We had lunch together.
My former roommate's daughter, who I still think of as the little 3-year-old who used to run around his legs and hide, is about to go college hunting. Time passes so quickly.
