Re: Earthquake!!I'm in Orange, right next to Santa Ana. I was in the garage and I thought to myself--why is the garage door starting to close (it was shaking). Realized what it was and decided the garage was definitely NOT the place to be in an earthquake, LOL. Left garage immediately. We are all fine here. My daughter was at work in Yorba Linda, close to the epicenter. She's fine, but the employees were a little shaken
