Dec. 22nd, 2003 11:38 amI was teching a customer and she says "whoa, we'rehaving an earthquake" I checked Yahoo News and this was JUST posted
CAMBRIA, Calif. - An earthquake rocked the central coast Monday and sent tremors across a wide swath of Southern California.
The quake was felt as a sustained but gentle rolling motion in downtown Los Angeles. The U.S. Geological Survey gave it a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 and said it was centered north of Cambria, a coastal town 35 miles northwest of San Luis Obispo.
