1. No wonder I didn't feel it...

Too far away and too faint.

Thanks for reporting it!

:hi:

2. Some folks in Culver City were saying

That they felt it or didn't feel it.... I guess it depends on exactly where you are sitting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. More likely to if you're in a high-rise...

[Donnachaidh]

4. in the grand scheme of things - that ain't shit for an earthquake

That's a burp. :shrug:

We were 2 blocks from the epicenter in Northridge -- THAT was a motherf*cking QUAKE.

[Divine Discontent]

5. one of those, 'head rattlers' I take it. I experienced a 2.0 bump & startled me, can't imagine a 6!

[Drunken Irishman]

6. Unless it's a forewarning. ;)

[lonestarnot]

7. I hope not!

9. We had a 5 here last month...

And everyone freaked that it might be leading up to something.

Well...no.

[Donnachaidh]

15. yeah - are they giving those *be prepared just in case* blurbs on ktla?

Before Northridge, we'd make *surf's up* jokes with 4 and better. It's almost schitzophrenic - you need to develop a blase attitude for the *shorties*, but you still worry about the mythical *big one*.

Glad I'm in Georgia at times like that.

10. 3.9 is, "Did you feel something?"

In the San Fernando Valley, we didn't. From the coordinates, I'd say we were 35 or 40 miles away. We felt the one in Calexico on Easter, 120 miles away.

14. In Camarillo, and that's exactly what we said!

It was practically right underneath and we both weren't sure it was even a quake, like maybe it was a sonic boom or a really big freight train.

8. Wouldn't that be in the Pacific Ocean, W. of Santa Monica? nt

11. I was twelve miles from it and did not realize an earthquake happened! Of course I was in the

theater watching Ironman so it must have been masked by the noise and vibrations from the movie.

[JDPriestly]

12. That's a whole different world from my hometown on the east side of L.A.

I did not feel a thing.

[Hekate]

13. Hardly enough to make the Jell-o jiggle

Which is a good thing.
