Lets hope that it was just a shaker and no real damage to people and buildings down there.

It is the strongest quake I have felt,...seems to have had a long duration time....I think the loose soil accentuates the rolling motion...

It went on long enough .... that I wasn't sure it was going to stop....

The nice thing about earthquakes is they last for a sort time[measured in seconds] and usually have little damage [unless high magnitude]. Stringent CA building codes mean it’s not a third world total destruction scenario.
