Below is a description of a personal experience from one of our viewers. The 7.0 earthquake which occurred at approximately 3 AM Saturday morning hit just miles from their house.
Personal Story...
First of all - we are all well.
As you probably have heard by now - we had a major quake in California
before 3 am. There was one earlier in the evening in the same area, but
it was around a 4. This one was around a 7.0 and it was north of Joshua
Tree - Landers, CA. It was felt in Arizona, Las Vegas and all over So.
Cal. Our home is in the valley of L.A. was rolling a lot - pool water
splashing out and lamps swinging like crazy, but no damage around here.
My son was out on a mountain overlooking the city but he didn't even feel it
as he was driving but he said the sky lit up all red and blue (transformers
going off) and didn't know why. We have had several aftershocks in the
last half hour following the quake, and I'm sure some more will be felt.
This one was not like the Northridge quake at all. This was a nice ride, actually,
gentle rocking and lots of rolling but no music to go with it - not loud like
the Northridge one was. It feels more like a San Andreas quake.
One thing for anyone interested - I am sensitive to feeling quakes before
they happen. I was ready since yesterday for this one. I prepared food so that
we'd have lots to eat tomorrow and I made popcorn tonight - that is one of my
indications that a quake is coming. I've been feeling off-balance and
dizzy all day, too.
I've been checking things in my home today with the express thought of a coming quake. So, our bodies know, we can pick up the waves and it's important to pay attention to these subtle signs. They are with us for good reason :)
Love the show and blessings to all, Bruce

I will have Jim Berkland, Seismologist/Geologist on the show ASAP. We are setting up an ECTV Special. "When A Earthquake Hits Home".
Also, I will be speaking at the "Star Knowledge Conference"
in Pomona California. The dates are October 29th, 30th, 31st.
Go to URL: http://www.earthchangesTV.com/events/index.htm#starknowledge
for more information.
I will be speaking on the media's awakening to a long term weather phenomenon which will continue to escalate. I will also go over the 5 point Red Cross protocol. The trauma many are likely to experience (even some of us) when the events occur in our own backyard, or as they escalate to a never before seen cycle. In addition, a few surprises on the Mars "Orbitor" and "Observer" satellites.
