There are scary earthquakes, and there are not. Thankfully, today's shaker was a fun one. Here at Variety, we felt a little shake -- as if a truck was passing by -- followed by a gentle but firm sway from side to side.
The details, from USGS:
A moderate earthquake occurred at 11:42:15 AM (PDT) on Tuesday, July 29, 2008.The magnitude 5.8 event occurred 3 km (2 miles) SW of Chino Hills, CA. The hypocentral depth is 12 km (8 miles).
Turns out it was actually just a 5.4. A lotta shakin', but that's about it. Still, that's not stopping local news from going hogwild with wall-to-wall coverage.
