Tonight's Earthquake

The earthquake centered in La Habra has apparently caused no damage in the Inland Empire, and I can't hear the L.A. area from where I'm at. OC has suffered some damage, mostly in the Fullerton - Brea- La Habra area. I've been monitoring the OC TRS. All FD talk groups are busy with area checks and handling calls for flooding (underground water main breaks) and gas leaks. There is at least one Strike Team and one Task Group in the Fullerton area to assist with the call load. Most activity is on 2G (Fullerton tac).

It shook pretty good in East Hemet area. Wherever dispatch for IE CHP is located must have felt it pretty good, as they immediately began conducting a roll call of all units in the field to check their status.

I''m sure Hemet Police and other emergency services did the same.

Actually, they did NOT, which was odd. Hemet PD was jumping because it was Friday night, nary a mention of an earthquake on their freq. That's what made me think it must have shaken up CHP's dispatch pretty good.

They were probably blowing up with calls to help people at least the fire side.
