6. My friend has an app on her phone.

It was really close. Scared the hell out of me!

7. We live about 8 miles from Carson

The initial jolts got our attention, then it popped.. nice, the last one I was walking between the patio and the side door.

9. The initial hit scared the hell out of me.

Knocked stuff off a kitchen shelf. Really odd. Not one chandelier was swaying but Knick knacks on the kitchen floor.

10. The initials especially close are compression waves, up and down not side to side.

It bounces stuff. You were pretty much on top of it. We just had a good well defined event.

[Scottie Mom]

12. Thanks. That explains what we saw.

Makes sense that things bounced off the shelves, but that the chandeliers were not swaying.

Felt a tiny rumble then 3 nice little hops.

11. There's a fire at the Carson refinery.

13. Aw, crap.

Hoped we’d get out of this one with just a few rattled nerves.
