First of all, I'm okay. My office shook really hard and long, but there's no damage and no injuries. From KTLA.com...
July 29, 2008, 11:56 AM PDT LOS ANGELES -- A 5.8 earthquake has just struck Southern California and was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego and slightly in Las Vegas.
Preliminary information indicates the epicenter was 29 miles east-southeast of downtown Los Angeles near Chino Hills in San Bernardino County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake hit at 11:42 a.m. Buildings in Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles swayed for several seconds. Many residents report that the quake appeared to last 30 to 40 seconds.
Residents in the San Fernando Valley reported water from swimming pools swished from side to side and people ran out of their homes yelling "Earthquake!".
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said there were not immediate reports of damage or injury in Los Angeles.
