[Scottie Mom]

Torrance — felt one strong jolt.

[Iggo]

1. Didn't feel a thing in Whittier.

[Scottie Mom]

2. Just one, strong jolt. Not a rocker or a roller or a shaker.

Weird earthquake.

[Iggo]

3. We had one of those a couple of years ago.

Basically right under us. BAM! and then nothing.

[Scottie Mom]

5. Exactly.

Texting with a gal pal who lives a few houses away. She and her hubby were not sure it was an earthquake.

4. I'm in HB right now and felt nothing.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Nothing Felt Here In South O.C.

Obviously it was quick. I usually feel them when they're above 3.5 and within 50 miles.

7. Thought I felt something in Hollywood

but wasn't sure

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I'm in Manhattan Beach, and I sure did feel it!

One fairly large jolt and a couple of little jiggles around that.

It was apparently about 3.6 on the Richter Scale and was about 14 km. deep.

9. Hi Peggy

Glad it wasn’t a bad one. Still must be nerve wracking! I have never been in an earthquake.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear mvd! I've lived in CA since I was 13, and these little ones are not a problem!

You really get used to them and realize that nothing bad will happen.

I've been through a couple of big ones and those are a lot scarier.

Our earthquake building standards have gotten very rigorous and unless it's a huge quake right under the house, we will probably be OK.

18. I find that I don't feel it unless it's greater than 5.0 or ...

I'm sitting on the couch and the couch shakes. magnifying the shaking.

I was in San Francisco with the Loma Prieta Earthquake hit at 6.9 in 1989
My wife & I were driving home and we were on a cloverleaf off ramp, when it hit.
It felt like the earth was moving under the car that we though it was 4 flat tires.

11. CaliforniaPeggy....

I'm here in Redondo Beach and I totally felt it!

I would've guessed it was stronger on the Richter Scale. It felt pretty big to me although nothing fell off of the wall or shelves....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. It did feel rather strong. And it wasn't particularly shallow.

Not sure why it felt the way it did.

I find earthquakes fascinating! Always loved geology too.

12. I'm in Manhattan and didn't feel a thing

Must be farther from the beach than I thought..............

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Wrong coast, I think, my dear DFW!

[DFW]

15. I KNEW there must have been an explanation...........

No tremors reported along the San New Jersey fault that I heard of.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

16. I felt it in Culver City.

We've been getting a lot of jolts from the Newport-Inglewood Fault in recent years. This one felt a little like that. It could have been the same fault Our backyard patio looks like a jigsaw puzzle these days. LOL!

17. I thought a 3.7 was just under what most people would feel.

Clearly I'm wrong.

But then, I'm the person who slept through an even stronger aftershock of the Northridge earthquake in 1994.

[Raine]

19. I really felt it. It felt like a fist punched the back of my chair and I could feel

the floor vibrate also this quake had sound. 😳
