Quake! So Cal, 11:25 PM.
Sharp jolt, not terribly strong, bet its epicenter is within 50 miles of me.

This felt like some of the Northridge aftershocks did. When they are sharp, it's nearby.

20. my son and i are in NC now
for 10 years we were on 120th street between inglewood ave and la cienega :)
he went to anza and dana and the Hawthorne math and science academy.
money chased us out of SoCal, where i spent my entire first 52 years. it's still home. i'm still homesick. but we can live here. there, just struggle.

9. I am thinking this was right underneath us here in the Valley.

A 2.5 feels big enough when it's directly below, lol. Northridge aftershock?

13. Looks like a dud. Probably just a tiny thing underneath my neighborhood.
It was enough to jolt me up from my near-sleep and get my heart racing and startle the cats, though.

16. Do you, by any chance, live on a hillside?
You might want to see if it's a bit more local... and not an earthquake at all.

17. Within the past week, bay area has had 2 or 3 jolts--though minor.
I believe last one was around Walnut Creek. I caught newscaster commenting that after third shaker they were getting suspicious of seismic activity in short timespan.

18. Nothing right next door to you...
Reseda/Winnetka/Canoga Park area.

:hi:

I should have felt it, I had just turned off the TV about that time.

I just recently came back from several years working in Egypt and still have STACKS of boxes to unpack. A quake would seriously impact my schedule. And probably me!

:scared:

24. I would not have felt it,
here in the OC, unless it had been huge. My daughter was shaking the house with her music (bass turned high). I asked her at least 7 times to turn it down, which she did, until she turned it back up.

Nothing like hearing only the bass of a really crappy song.

26. Well, IMHO I have been vindicated. The USGS site shows a 1.9
in the Santa Susana Hills which are just a few miles north of me. What is weird, is they show the time as 1:25 AM, and I know for a fact what I felt was 11:25 PM. Either it's a bizarre coincidence bordering on precognition, lol, or they got the time wrong. They have GMT as their primary time (which always confuses me) and then they have time at the epicenter.

28. Thing is, I live less than 1/2 mile from the 101 Fwy, but I KNOW what
a heavy truck with an out-of-balance tire or blowout feels and sounds like. This was definitely a nearby quake. Heaven knows, I have felt eough of them.

I was lying in bed, otherwise I might not have even felt it.
