One good thing there are no reports of emergencies or damage to anything. So that is awesome.

As soon as it started shaking stronger, I ran outside like a punk . All my employees followed suit so I didn't feel too lame. Called my mom, my brother and checked on my wife and kids. Just glad everyone is okay.

Dont Chile have earthquakes and Valcano erupting there?

Anything to do with catastrophe is scary.
hope all is well and hope there isn't a bigger one on the way in the same fault line.

It shook our building in San Diego pretty good for about 10 seconds.
