    We call a 5.9 a " starter quake " :) Living 4 miles from several different fault lines here in Northridge gives you a different perspective :)

    If you felt it, you should go to the USGS page here and click on the "Did you feel it?" button to report.

    By the way, the USGS updated it to 5.9.

    Yeah, My building is on a slab, I could feel the slab ripple. I could even tell the direction it was coming from, the south east of us. The first thing we noticed was the cubicals started rattling.

    Yep, I felt it clear up here. I could see the desk top moving, felt it in the floor and could not figure out what was going on. :eek6:

    Experiencing a fairly strong earthquake is an awesome (in the real sense of the word) event.

    My whole house shook. It was loud too, first from outside and then the sound became sounds my house was making. I have cracks in the sheet rock on one wall so going to have to check on the foundation, etc.

    I didn't feel it, but my co-worker did.

    He's 6'5", 220# and he suddenly ran past me while we were having a conversation and braced himself in the doorframe behind me.

    I said "W. T. F. are you doing?"

    He replied, "Didn't you feel the building shaking?!!!"

    Me: "Um, no....are you gonna be ok?"

    He was scared to death, but we're laughing about it now.
