earthquake

Yesterday evening there was a small earthquake in the LA area. It started at 839 and lasted for about 15 seconds. The house in west hollywood where I was having dinner with L. started to tremble. We looked into each other eyes and then I said. "it is!" and we movedunder a door-arch. I would have rather runned outside, however I am told that outside is dangerous because of the possibility of power lines hitting you. I wonder...
The television reported that a 4.7 shock was registered with center in the LAX airport area.
today I look at this website, it is impressive how many shocks there are almost every day.
