“It sure felt much stronger than 5.8. We’ve had aftershocks of that magnitude following earlier quakes than were hardly noticed.”

I agree (though I live close to this one’s epicenter). I just got off the phone with a friend in Long Beach. We both assessed that this one felt as strong as the beginning of Northridge’s in 94’. If I remember correctly, it seemed like Northridge started at the same level and then seemed to pick up some force as it went on, or maybe that was just our perception in looking back on it. One thing’s for sure, I haven’t felt anything that strong since Northridge.

Yes, this one did get stronger. At first I thought someone on another deck was moving tables and chairs - happens a lot here. It was several seconds later that I realized what had happened. Just like Northridge.

Hope you and yours are OK.

One of my customers was from Yorba Linda. She is having work done at her home - guys on scaffolding. Unable to contact anyone at the house, so her husband -who works closer to home was going to check on things. His office received quite a jolt - things flying off shelves etc.

Still cannot believe this was only a 5.4
