Not too bad here in North Hollywood. Shook for a bit, but I certainly didn't feel threatened at all.

Thank you ALGUIEN. I still cannot get through. My sister (real sister) has not called. I guess the phones.

I was sitting at my computer, talking on the telephone. My dog was asleep on the bed. He lifted his head, looked around, dropped his head back to the bed and went right back to sleep. We hardly felt it.

PETER, you do not count. You are too smooth to feel the rumbling. Just saying ;)

Matt - Don't be an asshole. I live in Los Angeles and NO ONE has been killed or seriously hurt.
Go back to Perez Hilton's site and spread that bullshit.

It certainly was a good one. Strong enough to be felt, not strong enough to cause serious damage. All in all, a good ride.
Having grown up in LA, its drilled into our heads to seek cover immediately. I got my staff to safety while my customers crowded around the plate glass windows to see what was happening outside. After all, one never knows if its going to keep going like it did today(which lasted quite some time) or if its going to intensify like it did in 1994. Seriously? Lets gather by the windows that are visibly vibrating?
I'd rather look like a fool like Kent Shockneck from the local NBC affiliate diving under the desk during a live broadcast back in 87 than some fool needing to pick shards of glass out of his eyeballs...
