That's a long distance. Anything fall off the shelves?

On the other hand, I was on the sixth floor of an office building in Los Angeles during the Loma Prieta quake. I was making a business call when suddenly my chair started sliding and the windows rattled and I thought it was at least a 5.0 local quake.

Shook our home near San Francisco, 300 mi away!

Mostly just the gentle wiggle of the house. We have a display case with glass shelves and about a dozen wine glasses. They jingle when the earth shakes. This one had them going off and on for the better part of a minute. I was surprised by the distance listed at http://earthquake.usgs.gov.
