Minutes ago. Waiting on report of epicenter.

1. How strong did it feel?

[IcyPeas]

6. It was one of those jerky short and sharp ones

My guess is not that big.

We had a 2.3 the other day that was similar. Like a quick jolt.

12. Funny takes on Twitter

I just hope it wasn't a harbinger.

14. The KNX guy asked callers if they got a warning.

Warning? He seemed baffled that no one got a warning. WTH?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. this is likely the reason he asked about warning...

"The 4.2 magnitude earthquake was "too small to trigger the delivery of #ShakeAlert-powered alerts to cell phones," USGS ShakeAlert wrote on Twitter."

21. Thanks so much!

I wasn't aware of that & could not figure out what he meant.

11. I'm still trying to calm down my cockatiel

He crashed around his cage hysterically and lost some flight feathers. I’m pretty shook up myself.

I’m in Thousand Oaks.

13. Felt it in the South Bay area of LA county, I could feel the ground shake

everything rattling, made a sort of popping noise.

16. Same here in MB

Small creaks and pops from the house’s wood frame, and plaster walls. I felt/heard the initial jolt, looked up from my tablet and after a half second or so felt the initial compression waves, then within a couple few seconds you could feel side to side shake lasting maybe 15-20 seconds total.

Woke both cats sharing twin recliners with me. The male Siamese who claimed my wife side let out a low yowl and almost got up to hide before the quake settled down.

15. Hang on, SoCal!

17. We had a 5.0 off malibu in about '89. Some broken glass and car alarms, very bumpy!

18. I'm setting at a truck stop in Ontario, 40 miles east of LA.

I slept right through it!😱

19. I Imagine These Are The Aftershocks On This List

One USGS page has an earthquake map and a list of events on the left hand side.

Lists Malibu at 4.2, then 3.5, then 2.8, then 2.6...

I guess they don't differentiate between events on this page ???
