    I keep getting the alerts on my cell phone that theoretically give you enough time to take cover if you're far enough from the epicenter. Every time I get one I think "Is it a (THE) big one?" One of these days it will be. It's crazy how many earthquakes SoCal has been getting lately. I don't remember this ever happening before.

    I should’ve felt it but I didn’t. I’m about 100 miles away from Malibu or so.

    We have some land near where the San Andreas fault runs to the ocean. We don't pay much attention to quakes until the walls in the old house start to vibrate. The house was built way back when they knew how to build things and after over 100 years and no earthquake damage I'd have to say they got it right. House is built of native wood cut and milled on the property.
    That being said, we had a metal barn, 250x100, put up about twenty years ago. Very modern, very nice, pretty cheap too. It's been wracked completely out of shape to where none of the doors will
    close, the windows fall out, and the slab is cracking. We sure got what we paid for.
    We always have a few horses in the corrals up around the house. When they all start looking toward the fault and their ears all point in the same direction we know what's going to happen. They're seldom wrong.

    It really is crazy , we have them all over everyday. This is the first one in a while that I felt and I feel safe here. I think since you first mentioned that app Ive got it or one like it , it was going off right after it was over.

    Yes , I am surprised you didn't get much rolling , it was a shake as much as a roll. Are they still working on 15 all through Hesperia. changing subject here ...I think Calif knows how to set and divide traffic and get the job done in a fast way. It does a good job.
    How is the plumbing going ?

    It sounds like you have a great property and house , and this is the first other than dogs barking that I heard about animals predicting. That is amazing , do they give much time before? Do you think they feel it in the earth? This is very interesting.
