I swear we just had an earthquake here in SoCal. Ground did a faint

[kestrel91316]

shimmy under my feet here at my desk for almost 30 seconds.......

It's either that pre-Big One shimmying going on, or somebody somewhere had a pretty good quake.

[lisa58]

1. nothing on the news yet...be safe

[JanMichael]

2. Didn't feel a thing

here in NC.

;)

Hope the "big one" doesn't hit.

[driver8]

3. I didn't feel anything, either.

Now I have to go and see if we had one!

[JuniperLea]

4. Me too...

I'm on the 39th floor of a 60+ story building in Downtown Los Angeles... I feel every quiver.


Nothing on the map...

Was the shuttle going to land at Edwards today?

[JI7]

5. i didn't feel anything, maybe it was a large truck driving by

[kestrel91316]

12. It went on way too long for that. Besides, I have been spending time in this very

chair at this very desk in this very office for 18 years. I know every rattle and jiggle and pop and rumble that this piece of land is prone to, lol, and I can sit here and tell you what type of helicopter is coming down along the freeway long before it gets here, and I can tell a bus from a truck on Ventura by how much the building shakes when they barrel past.

There is something weird going on in recent weeks and months. I don't like it.

6. Hrm. I'm over the hill across from the Valley...nothing here

8. I didn't see any red on the map

:shrug:

[kestrel91316]

7. I feel a lot of shimmying when I am in bed at night lately, too. There was

something on the news recently about the faint, prolonged "quivers" that they are linking to the San Andreas. It bothers me. Before Northridge for about a year we had little paired quivers that I only felt in bed at night - they vanished after Northridge hit.

[proud patriot]

10. might be your worry making you oversesitive

I checked the USGS site nothing within the hour ...

perhaps it's a premonition :scared:

oh lordy x(

[kestrel91316]

14. I'm not THAT kind of a worrier, lol, to be imagining things, lol.

The USGS or Caltech recently mentioned about the prolonged minor shimmy phenomenon and how they feel it is linked to some monkeybusiness going on with the San Andreas.

Shit.

[proud patriot]

25. Woa !

:scared: creepy been a long time for the Bay Area
there I said it ....... 89 dude !

:scared:

[kestrel91316]

28. Well, I'm a dudette, and in Los Angeles. '94, Northridge is what i know.

[proud patriot]

30. sorry I'm a dudette as well

:hi: :pals: :hug:

13. Unplug the vibrator when not in use.

Saves electricity.

15. Its your internal clock - its time to join the President with a beer.

[Cleita]

16. Or, jets from Edwards AFB are breaking the sound barrier.

Sometimes they do it over us and sometimes over you. It feels like a small earthquake jolt.

17. 2.8 recorded at 4:04pm

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/ci14493208.php

[kestrel91316]

20. Wow, I bet that was it.

[TahitiNut]

22. You'd have to be close to the epicenter or a harmonic point to feel a 2.8.

* 3 km (2 miles) NNW (327°) from El Segundo, CA
* 4 km (3 miles) SE (146°) from Marina del Rey, CA
* 6 km (4 miles) W (277°) from Lennox, CA
* 7 km (5 miles) W (260°) from Inglewood, CA
* 20 km (13 miles) SW (234°) from Los Angeles Civic Center, CA

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. And it just came through the firefox tool

now I know the delay on it.

[kestrel91316]

29. I'm near enough El Segundo as the crow flies to have felt a 2.8 there.

I was sitting very quietly at my desk. If I had been moving around at all I wouldn't have noticed it.

A 2.8, when you are directly on top of it, can be quite a shaker, BTW. Ask me how I know, lol.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. loaded the quake thingy on Firefox

in the last hour we have had a few in Alaska and several over the 5 scale in the Eastern Pacific...in fact, way too many of those in the middle of the Trench. That said, this should not affect the St Andreas. And I do remember readying the same report you did from the USGS and others. Deep quakes, releasing pressure.

[Journeyman]

19. Temblors happen all the time in the Southland . . .

rarely mean anything more than temblors happening all the time.

[ColbertWatcher]

21. I'm sorry, I didn't feel it. But, then I don't wake up for anything under 4.5. n/t

[Hekate]

23. Nothing here on the Central Coast
