Our building swayed down here in El Segundo. I’ll check with my wife to see how it was felt in the valley. I hope everyone is OK in the affected areas.
News reports indicate no damge.
Milk shakes anyone? It was near Kettleman City. Of course, most of the news media is reporting this solely as something that delayed the Scott Peterson trial.
