I was in Sherman Oaks in the 94 quake. Now I'm South of Northridge. This was surprisingly rough for such a small quake. I'm still a bit rattled, lol. Nothing fell but the neighborhood is all awake.
Another small aftershock just a couple of minutes ago...
Yes. This one really got to people. I have been on other blogs after this happened and some seasoned veterans (up in your area) are freaking with this one. I think it really had to do with that very strong, violent jolt and also the noises--of course the shaking was not good, but violent jolting is very scary, especially if noise is involved. It has been felt from Santa Barbara (II & III's) to Long Beach (same intensities). I am seeing it now reporting as a 5 in Chatsworth and Northridge.
