Authorities were tallying damage from a magnitude 5.1 earthquake that struck Southern California on Friday night.
Fullerton police said early Saturday that up to 50 people had been displaced because of home damage.
The quake, centered near La Habra, caused furniture to tumble, pictures to fall off walls and glass to break. Merchandise fell off store shelves, and there were reports of plate glass windows shattered.
In Brea, several people suffered minor injuries during a rock slide that overturned their car. Fullerton reported seven water main breaks. Carbon Canyon Road was closed.
Residents across Orange and Los Angeles counties and the Inland Empire reported swinging chandeliers, fireplaces dislodging from walls and lots of rattled nerves. The shake caused a rock slide in Carbon Canyon, causing a car to overturn, according to the Brea Police Department. Fullerton police received reports of water main breaks and windows shattering, but primarily had residents calling about burglar alarms being set off by the quake.
=============================================
A number of pre-shocks and after-shocks in the 3-4 range, which is still enough to keep people jumpy. Lots of family living in that area (Fullerton, Brea, Anaheim, south OC.) So far, worst that has happened to any of them is my cousin's bathroom toilet cracked and flooded their bathroom, thankfully nobody hurt.
Thoughts out to DLR, Dori, and the rest of the SoCal CC'ers.
