    Yah that was nice little shake there. I was at lunch when it happened. Knew exactly what it was when it happened. I'm about 40 miles from epicenter so it wasn't that bad for me. 26 aftershocks so far though. But I don't think I felt any of those.

      It was a pleasant little roller at my house.

      Nothing to see here. Move along.

        If at first you don't succeed, you're running about average.

          Just enough to remind you that you can have an earthquake at anytime. Why don't they seem to happen in the middle of the night?
          It was even felt up here, 200 miles away.

            Just as long as nobody lost a life or got hurt. I didn't even feel it myself.

              Was in my shop at home when it happened, in between cutting some CDX sheet for a little wood bin project I'm working, chatting with my neighbor who'd brought over a small box project he'd made. I had two trucks in the driveway, and BOY did they start dancing! We just stepped outside, leaned against the wall, and waited till the rolling quit. After 42 years in California, this is the first quake I've actually been outdoors for - and what a strange sensation to see the ground and roadway move like it did.
