Wow, pretty good earthquake just hit soCal

I am 12 miles from the center and it was a good shot. It lasted longer than I thought it would. The P waves hit followed by the s waves close behind... closer than normal. A few broken things but no big deal. Looks like it was a blind thrust fault in cow patty land.

I thought dogs/animals could sense earthquakes...all three of my dogs slept right through the thing...sad

All of you long time locals seem to be wishing it was bigger......

That's one of the requirements of living in earhtquake country. Unless buildings are actually toppling you have to act like it was no big deal.

Good news for the shroom harvest!

I was driving on the freeway and no semis toppled over and burst into flames. Didn't feel a thing. Damnit! Somehow I always miss earthquakes.

Sitting in the hospital here in SM the building was definitely rolling for quite a while. Nothing violent or with that scary Bang so it wasn't too bad, but still long enough to get everyone a little nervous.

Dad is on the 40th floor downtown and said his building sounded like a bomb went off. A huge BANG! and then a long rolling afterwards, but apparently some people were freaked enough to be in tears. Downtown is definitely closer than SM and 40 floors up will make it felt.

The inlaws think it was just baby Griffith announcing himself to the world...

Pussy ass quake!

This blows. I've been in California and Nevade for 3 months now and haven't felt shit.

I'm sorry to hear about that A! I hope it's nothing major.

I literally surfed my kitchen floor this morning. It was seriously scary.
