At 0625 local time, we experienced a small earthquake in the Los Angeles area. It woke me up with a small jolt followed by about 5 seconds of rolling motion. I live about 25 miles north of the epicenter. USGS measured this quake as a 4.4

As a Southern Californian, I'm quite use to earthquakes. In fact, I've also experienced earthquakes in Hawaii, and in Japan. I have emergency supplies of food, water, and medical supplies because emergency services will be not be available for up to four days after a major event (The Big One) that has been predicted to hit So Cal for the past 20+ years. It's not a matter of "if" but "when." I'll take an earthquake over a tornado or hurricane anyday!
The following is a funny video of two TV News Anchors on KTLA when this morning's little quake hit.
