The earthquake happened during the Dodgers game & the foul poles were shaking. They played on.      Rudy

We felt it here in santa  barbara but not the one on the 4th. It shook here for about a minute or so. A buddy called from the landing in San Diego and they felt it down there too

I know you were kind of close to that big one, glad you are ok compadre

Apparently it was felt all the way to Sacramento and Las Vegas! I didn't notice anything in Santa Cruz though.

Definitely felt it in the Inland Empire (Riverside).  To any of the Ohana that don't live or are not familiar with the area, the whole "Southern California" thing is a bit of a misnomer.  Technically, yes, it's SoCal.  But it's a big state.  The area feeling the most effects right now is the High Desert, and while my heart goes out to the people up there, the major urban centers and infrastructure of SoCal are separated from this by a mountain range and the San Andreas Fault.  Thankfully it appears no lives have been lost, and it definitely serves as a reminder that I spent this morning making sure wall anchors were secure, hit the wrench I have hanging on the gas meter with some WD40 to keep the rust away, and survival supplies are still "in date" and not just a bunch of bulging expired cans...

Has anyone heard from Fred?  Fred, please let us know you're okay when you can. Knowing Fred, he's likely out helping his neighbors.

The duration of both was pretty impressive. All is well in Capo Beach.

Felt last nights quake up here in Crestline. Not very violent but a long rocking motion up here on the mountain. Fred is definitely closer, northwest of Ridgecrest.  No damage at my house.  The wife and I were living in Northridge for that one, and it was a real wild ride.....Bill

I think the worst I ever felt was the Landers/Big Bear quakes.  I was up by Lake Arrowhead (5 Points) and it really rocked and rolled. It was worse than the Northridge quake.

[Dominick]

I didn't feel anything.  But then again I had a half empty bottle of zin in front of me.  Maybe that's why I didn't feel anything.    Dominick

Dominic, if you drink the other half in a hurry, you will possibly feel the after shock, cheers Don
