Anyone near Southern California feel the earthquake?

Some people in the Coachella Valley (where I live) felt the earthquake today, but I didn't notice anything.

I was at home, probably watching a movie.

My sister was at the 99 Cent Store, and someone at the store mentioned it to her as it happened, but she didn't feel it either.

I used to live near Bakersfield, which is a lot closer to the epicenter.

Now I live just a few miles away from the San Andreas.

(But I've been lucky enough to never be in a natural disaster.)

Any BLF members experience this one?

my son felt it, but I did not. We are both in Santa Barbara. Something fell off my cold rush machine during dinner, and my wife joked it was an aftershock.

Me neither.

Oh Yes. I’m in Australia. chuckle.

Several yrs ago.
We go to Phuket regularly. (Sailfish fishing)
We were sitting in Hotel room. 6th floor. Wife in shower.
Me watching tv.

The long wall of room with Teev on it.
Started to visibly “ripple”.
I watched the wave travel along the wall from back to front,
About 25/28 ft. then off to the next block.

Talking to staff and other residents later,
A regular occurence. At least once a month.
They have a LOT of steel reo in those longtitudal walls the manager said.
It always goes the same wavelength.
For the last 16 yrs he’s been there and before.
We still go there and enjoy.

I felt in the city of Orange in OC. Water sloshed around in my pool.

Downtown LA, definitely felt it

Felt it pretty good in Santa Clarita. I’d call it a rolling smooth one, not too scary.

Agree this one was smooth, not jerky at all.
Didn’t feel any aftershocks though.

Had a 5.4 at 4AM this morning

My brother is in California at the moment and he felt it, his first earth quake (he lives in Singapore, it is quiet there).

I slept through that one, albeit I am a few hundred miles away.

Yep. Just south of Fresno. A little shaking, nothing to be concerned about though.

Got a kick out of hearing news outlets remind everyone to make sure they stock up on flashlights.

One day.

She’ll give a GOOD wriggle. rub a coupla plates together seriously.
And we’ll all go walkabout for a coupla million yrs while she
cools down and starts again hey. without feral humans on here .
A much better place I reckon.

6.4 is good for getting your attention. :slight_smile:

Except that people will forget about it after 6 months or so. Most people just can’t wrap their minds around the fact that at some point there will be a devastating quake in northern/southern Calif, and that effective government response will be measured in months rather than days.

at steamer lane in Santa Cruz, CA a 30 foot long by 12” wide crack appeared in the cliff by the main parking lot, yesterday. today it was about 25% wider.

I did not feel the quake

my friend and I are taking opposing sides, he says the cliff section will drop into the water, Im betting it wont, its “solid” rock underneath right?:wink:

Above.

That “solid”rock you talking about. Is just a tiny splinter on a thin cooling crust on a small fireball spinning in space. Miniscule in the way of things.

OH. None of it is SOLID Rock. Just a thin skin of several cooling plates. that are permanently on the move. Usually together.
But look out Charlie if any ever separate. WE ALL gone.

The way we treating it. It’s only a matter of time.

Have a great day hey….

I tried finding pics or a story online and have not yet been successful. Have you seen either Jon?

I’ve been thru many and could tell it was a good one….frim 200 miles away in Oxnard.
First thing I thought about was how many batteries do I have charged.SMH

It woke my 2 kids and wife, put the news on and was surprised at how far the epicenter was….

Earthquake just now (8:23pm) in Las Vegas. Was watching the NBA summer league game, Knicks vs Pelicans. Scoreboard and speakers hanging from the ceiling swaying back and forth at Thomas & Mack arena.
