ABC is reporting there was a 5.2 Earthquake in California this morning. I haven't heard of any injuries or deaths, but praying everyone is safe.
Everyone in ok? Check in and let us know!

FYI - the earthquake was near Borrego Springs between LA and San Diego - although out in the desert. It's pretty far from any population centers, so hopefully no injuries.

Yep, we felt it here in San Diego. Not exactly the way I like to be shaken awake at 1am. It was a long one... started with a rolling feeling, but then the shaking went on for quite a while. It was the first one we've felt since we moved down here two years ago. But probably the strongest one we've felt in the 7 years we've been in SoCal. We're all OK, and I haven't heard of any damage around here. But it was hard to go back to sleep after that!

I felt a very slow roll, but it lasted quite a while. I was far from the epicenter. I was surprised at how silent my house was even though it was clearly moving. I always make it a point to look at the time and check with the news in the morning.

Thought a bunch of big trucks was rolling down the street. Woke me up and I thought WTH is that. Then, right when my sleepy brain thought "earthquake", I felt it. The jolt was short and quick in my area. I heard the Windows rattle. Surprised the animals didn't make a sound. Strangest earthquake I have felt.
ETA - maybe my house was rolling when it sounded like trucks, but I didn't feel that. I was bracing for the jolt.

I felt it and rolled over and went back to sleep. I wasn't sure if it was an earthquake or a big truck.

Didn't feel it and we are in the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles.

I'm in Central CA...nothing here. But my mom is in Palm Springs which is close to the epicenter and she was jolted awake by it. A few things fell but that's about it.

It woke me up but it is because it rattled my closet doors not because the earthquake itself woke me up. It was a really minor quake.

I'm in Monterey...Central Coast. I got nothing but I'm notorious for sleeping through them anyway. This is my LAST day here...leaving to move back to Florida in like two hours. I've been terrified about earthquakes this whole time because we are way up on a hill and I have visions of our house tumbling down into the abyss. I'll take a hurricane over an earthquake any day. I like a natural disaster that provides me advance warning so I can go ahead and leave if I'm so inclined.

This is the first I'm hearing of it. I'm very far away from that part of California. Glad to hear everyone is ok!

Im glad everyone had no real issues with it! Since I live where we dont have any real type earthquake issues, I am always fascinated when there is one.

My niece lives in Oceanside and said it woke her up and shook the house, but everything is okay.

I was jolted awake not by the earthquake but by DH jumping out of bed yelling, "EARTHQUAKE!!!" Scared the crap out of me! He would never shout about an earthquake during the day, but he doesn't react well to being woken quickly! Anyway, it was over by then, so I just assumed he had been dreaming. The kids slept through it.

I live right smack in the middle of uptown San Diego and felt it. I thought it was my husband rolling around and disturbing me in my sleep so I went out and slept on the couch .

I'm in North San Diego County and it woke DH and I up, but only felt is for a few seconds. We must have missed a bit of it because everyone keeps saying it was long.

Definitely felt it in Oceanside. My little doggy sensed it first and did a little bark right before it started shaking.

I remember waking up and thinking maybe there was an earthquake, but went right back to sleep. No real damage anywhere from what I saw on the news. You'd think it was the big one with all of the "breaking news" live coverage this morning. I believe it was on the San Andreas fault. Any time it can let off a little steam in a low population area, that's a good thing.

My 16 yo DS burst into my room to let me know about it. I then felt it a bit but I think I would've slept through it had it not woken me up. I was dead tired from work. It was a good shaker. Not a fan of earthquakes but I've lived in Southern CA for 40 years and I haven't felt all that many.

Our pup woke up DD, so DD felt it or one of the immediate aftershocks, but I stept through the whole thing. There were 8 aftershocks, 3 within quick succession of the first. The US Geological Survey is where I always go for details.

DH and I had only been in bed for 30 or 40 minutes when the Earthquake hit (we are about 40 miles away in east Escondido) and it woke us up quick enough to "ride" it out for a bit. Once it was done DH went back to sleep and I went to check on our cats. Both cats were freaking out and darting about the house. I sat with them for a few minutes on the couch before going back to bed. I think it's been at least a couple years since I've felt one that strongly. The last "big" one I remember was on Easter in 2010. That was fun, hehe. SaveSave

For once, I slept through a decent size quake. Didn't feel a thing.

Why'd you have to go and remind me about those??? There was one that actually swallowed a guy in his bed. It was only 6 or so miles from our house and I have a friend that lives like half a mile away. I'd conveniently forgotten about those things. I'm just going to have to try and forget again....lol.
