I was eating at a restaurant in Avondale yesterday when these two loud ladies behind me were like "I told her hell no and to stay outta my... Wait! Girl! Girl! Did you just feel that? That was just an earthquake!"

At that point I was actually feeling motion sickness and I turned around and looked at her and then noticed that the chandeliers were swaying back and forth in the entire resturant.

It was so subtle but not! Anyone else notice it??

My rents were actually in Cali so right after I was freaked and I called them to see if it came from there and I got no answer for about twenty minutes. Finally she called me and told me they had a 6.9 earthquake and I was like "I know! We felt it!"

She was in the movies watching Clash of the Titans in 3D and she said she thought it was just the effects at first because she said it started right at the very point when they released the Kracken in the movie

I got a nar headache after too!

i've now missed nearly half a dozen in a row but missing these last two is troubling me. first of all, they were felt as far as you guys in phx and in san diego, where i was when the first one hit, people saw rolling roads and shaking buildings. somehow, i was driving and saw and felt nothing. in fact, i was wondering why the traffic had slowed down for a bit (roughly around the time the quake hit, dur) before clearing up! wasn't until i got home that i realized what had happened lol

then there was the one that hit at 6:20 this morning. i slept right through it. let's hope the BIG ONE at least grabs my attention so i dont get swallowed up by the pacfic ocean!

whoever felt it dealt it

Whoever didn't... um... um... damit Jack!!

We felt it pretty good here in LA. Best way I can describe it, is that it felt like being on a boat in mostly calm water. Just a gentle roll. It was weird because it was a completely silent earthquake, the usual scary ass rumble that accompanies them was nowhere to be found, which makes sense considering how far away it was. After 30 seconds or so of shaking I looked at my girlfriend's mom and said "This isn't shit here, but it's a fucking big one somewhere else. I'm gonna say maybe 6.5 to 7.0 in Baja" (I'm kind of an earthquake nerd). Steph said same magnitude but in Tahoe, but she was WRONG.

I feel bad for those people near the border. Earthquakes suck, another reason I want to get the fuck out of California...before it collapses in on itself.

Just talked to my mom. She’s stuck in LA due to the rain and car accidents messing up the freeways. I want her to come home now its too scary there!

I was on the phone w/ the rents when it happened and when they said they felt it I noticed the water in my fish tank waving & my ceiling lamp swaying and I thought man earthquakes are lame! Haha

I was waking from a nap and my bed started to move. It felt like rolling quakes and I had motion sickness the rest of the day.

news said it was a 7.2

totally second the boat thing! i was running in the marina and sat on a bench, completely out of breath. i felt the bench sway, but i though i was going crazy from running too much. but then it kept swaying. nothing like the loud one that woke us up at 4 in the morning a couple weeks back. but that one was centered super close to the city.

The one a couple weeks was only five miles from my house. Growing up in Alaska and then living in California for four and a half years I've experienced my share of earthquakes but seriously, none have freaked me out anywhere near as much as that one. Perhaps it was the time of morning and the fact that I was sleeping but seriously, that shit sucked.

I've never felt an earthquake. Unless you count every time Tender Lad sits down.
