6.9 EARTHQUAKE... Or was it a 7.2? Anyways, a strong tremor whose epicenter originated near Baja California in Mexico struck SoCal about an hour ago. The quake was felt in San Diego first (obviously) before it hit here in Los Angeles.

The quake shook for so long that I had time to update my Facebook status ("Earthquake!!! And it's still going...") before it ended. The quake had a rolling motion...which brought that one Limp Bizkit song up to mind—

"Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'. Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'. Now I know ya'll be lovin' this s**t right here..."

...unless, of course, it was finally the 'Big One'.
