There was a series of small to moderate earthquakes in Orange County tonight, and the biggest one was 5.1 just after 9:00 PM and was felt beyond OC in much of Southern California. The epicenters of the quakes were in La Habra, a suburb about 10 miles north of Disneyland. Miceage has this update on its front page tonight, and it sums up the Disneyland impact...

March 28, 2014: Shake, Rattle and Roll – Southern California had a series of earthquakes this evening (March 28th) beginning at 8:03pm. The first quake, a 3.6 located in La Habra (relatively close to Disneyland), caused Disneyland to shut down the attractions. Just as some of the rides were reopening, a second larger quake (5.1) shook the park hard causing all rides and shows to be immediately stopped and rides evacuated. Entries into the park were limited and guests swarmed out of Disneyland as all attractions were shut and Fireworks canceled. As of 10:45pm, rides are reopening, guests are once again being allowed into the park and Fantasmic is currently running. No damage has been reported. http://micechat.com/
I live in Villa Park, in the hills a few miles due east of Disneyland and the 5.1 at 9:10 really shook the house here and was quite loud. I had several vases and books fall off shelves in the den, but no real "damage". I noticed there were no fireworks 20 minutes later at 9:30 PM, as most rooms in my house face the east and can see the Disneyland fireworks easily. Was anyone at Disneyland during the 5.1 tonight?!?
