LA Earthquake

[The Stranger]

I was lying in bed with my laptop and the room just shook, not too hard, for like ten seconds or so. It was either a small one, or a big one centered far away.

I live in Shadow Hills (sort of between Burbank and Van Nuys, in the hills).

[Sponger15SB]

Same. I'm in San Diego and it felt pretty tiny.

[Sponger15SB]

5.6 in Borrego Springs.

[The Stranger]

Where's that? The TV in my room isn't hooked up to anything other than DVDs, and I'm too lazy to go downstairs.

[Los Feliz Slim]

Near Palm Springs. I'm in Hollywood and it shook once, pretty hard and knocked over a couple of candles on my dining room table.

I'm in Glendale and I felt it for a few seconds this morning, but it wasn't too bad at all.

[andyfox]

I'm on the west side, it was pretty substantial, for about 8-10 seconds.

I have never been in a earthquake. Is this typical for Cali peoples? How do you know one day the earth isn't just going to open up and swallow the entire street you live on?

haha, sounds like every out of stater ever. I'f you'd ever been in one you'd know that even the hairy ones aren't half as bad as other natural disasters (blizzards, tornados,etc.) that the rest of the US has to deal with. In places without strict building codes and modern building materials/engineering i can see them being much much more scary.

was a nice one here in westwood, maybe high 3's i'd guess. woke me up.
