Sitting at my office desk catching up on paperwork. The room rumbled a bit. I walked over to shimmeringjemmy, “Okay, that was an earthquake.”
It really was minor here. This is primarily because we’re on a mountain road. It’s not a big mountain, but it’s definitely enough to buffer some of the shock. Basically people at the bottom of the hill probably felt about 3-3.5, we got about 1.5-2.
With Anza’s quake at the beginning of the week and this one, it would seem that we have a very unhappy fault line.
In case you didn’t investigate: 5.3, near Yucaipa. We felt it pretty good here in El Segundo, and my wife felt it in North Hills.
I always report them
as soon as I feel them. Of course pasadena.wr.usgs.gov is currently being throttled. We’ll see more stats once the rush to report dies down.
Sorry, downgraded to 4.9 (i.e. small).
Some of my coworkers felt it while sitting at their desks; however, I was out on the balcony and I didn’t feel a thing.
