California has no risk of breaking off, it is moving East, not west.
Common misconception in about every earthquake discussion :p

Yeah, it was a joke... but I'm sure lots of people actually don't realise that.

Felt in Irvine. I was in class taking a final, ahah. People in class were like OMFG WE'RE IN DANGER, MUST RESCHEDULE FINAL, and the prof just kept reading his magazine and said "we all have to die someday," lol.

and there is another thread where there was a 3.9 event occurred 86 km (54 miles) W of Petrolia, CA. at 11:38 . . . so i am not really sure about this [other than i saw it on tv]

lotts shaking going on . . . i missed the Yucaipa quake's EPICenter by 1/2 hour . . . i left work early today
