Near Marina del Rey in Los Angeles just a few mins ago. 3.2.
Anyone else feel it?
Tried to get my sons away from the video gaming and into a doorway, but they couldn't be bothered.
Nothing here in Texas.
3.2?
What was it, a large truck rumbling by?
Nothing here in North Orange County. A 3.2 earthquake is on the small side unless you are on top of it.
Im in earthquake country... North of San Francisco..
All earthquakes are shockers on some level.
better a lot of small ones than one huge shaker.
Doorways are outdated advice....
“During an earthquake you should head for the doorway.
FICTION: That’s outdated advice....”

Nope, no one felt it!
Yup, felt it; just a tiny one. First thing I do, look to see if Mobil blew up; they are past due. Then check the Wilmington refinery go kaboom. Nope, nust be an earthquake.
Felt nothing up here in Washington State.
***Earthquakes,mudslides,brush fires,droughts AND taxes? ***
I’ll stick with my tornado warnings and ice storms here in the Ozarks. Though I would rather be back in the Rockies w/o the tornadoes.
Now, with a delay, we felt it here in Reno. The slots started spitting out silver dollars and I got me some before casino security thugs arrived and started putting them in their own pockets. Woo, hoo!

Thanks for the heads up Yaelle. Enjoy your posts. ;)
When your kids finally feel a big one they’ll know you were right all along.
Most of those 3-3.6 scale ones are roughly equivalent to a giant boulder falling a few inches and crashing into another. We used to have a waterbed, sometimes it would resonate with a little quake and make a clear bell-like note - you could only hear it if you were in the bed. One day there was a slightly larger quake nearby. The waterbed completely isolated us from the motion but it rang like a windup alarm clock. That quake rearranged the pictures on the wall.
Interestingly the 2003 quake at Paso Robles (180 miles distant, knocked down the clock tower) caused the waterbed to slosh around for a while and the blinds to swing, but it took a while for us to realize why.

You can adjust the settings and what area you are interested in, then bookmark it.
I was outside, didn’t notice at all.
For a 3.2 tremor? I wouldn't bother either.
