At 11:42 AM the Los Angeles Basin heaved and rolled as a strong temblor struck the Chino Hills area 29 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. I was talking on the phone when there was a sharp jolt followed by a prolonged rolling. My apartment has a long narrow living room and I could see the window frames bending as seismic waves swelled under the building. I'm on the second floor so the swaying is amplified a little. Being 40 miles away from the epicenter nothing fell off my book shelves or out of my kitchen cabinets. Although some pictures got knocked over. It lasted for about 30 seconds.
