I wonder if this is the beginning of something bigger

Rounding error?

This was felt 220 miles away in the LA region and all the way to Phoenix....

My parents and sister felt it, in Playa Vista; and they all agreed that it was the longest rolling quake they had ever felt (having been through the 1971 and 1994 quakes in Southern California). (I’m now living in Southeast Florida and we don’t have earthquakes here. Yet.)

I lived in an apartment by E street and Broadway.

Something fell in the family room but I havent checked yet.

I know the feeling: "I'll finish this beer first."

I wonder with how bad building codes are south of the border, how much damage there will be there.

Obviously it’s Bush’s fault..

[TankerKC]

I’m a Colorado boy and I’m not used to these!

I grew up in CO and CA, but been away for the past 20 years in the military. That gave me a scare...

[avital2]

rolled here in Tarzana for over 30 seconds

[Irish Eyes]

Holy crap, I felt that in Phoenix.

Glad you said that. I felt it also. Thought that it was my imagination...but grew up in CA and I do know what an earthquake feels like.

I love Dan Tana’s

A good 45-60 seconds of rolling and swaying here in the San Fernando Valley. I think the magnitude will be reassessed upward - I felt a LOT of movement for being 150+ miles away.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Robert Felix at iceagenow.com suspects that the upsurge of seismic activity might be linked to the decreasing strength of the Earth’s magnetic field.

My neighbors felt it here in the L.A. area, but I was outside walking on the sidewalk by the road and didn’t feel it.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I felt NOTHING in The OC!

Dogs weren’t weird.

Pool didn’t slosh. Nothin’ nil nada.

MY kind of quake! Hope everyone’s safe!!!

2 4.0+’s up in Northern California, north of Santa Rosa in Cobb, CA, and a 3.4 down in Julian CA, nearer San Diego. It’ll be interesting to read the reports to see if they eventually connect these events together.
