I just felt a very slight rumble (in Glendale, Calif.). Anybody else?
7:56 p.m. (Pacific Time): KFI, the talk-radio station, says the quake hit way out in San Bernardino County. Apparently it was felt throughout the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood. ...

WHOA is right!
That was an EARTHQUAKE and I felt it. I am such a chicken when it comes to these types of events.

Way out in San Bernardino, eh? When you live here, it's not so "way out." It was a four point niner according to the USGS, centered a mile south of downtown SB.
I've been in California most of my 48 years, so this one was nothing special. Unusual to have them this time of night, though.

This one was over so quick, Tanyetta, I didn't have time to even ponder whether I should get under a doorway.
I've felt a couple that really lasted a while... swaying the venetian blinds, etc.
One time I dreamed somebody was shaking my bed... woke up, turned out it was an earthquake in progress.

It's just a signpost on the road to Vegas for me, brah.
I felt it in Beverly Hills. My brother, who is visiting, didn't. But it was very, very slight. In fact, this article proves I wasn't making it up.
You are really providing a public service, UBM.
Next time you taste a McNugget, thank the McDonald Brothers, who started in none other than San Berdoo.
And don't pretend like you ain't had a mcnugget, especially after that commercial...Oh girl I know you creepin' (tick tock tick) ;)
Two months ago, I coordinated my agency's Great Shake Out Drill. We simulated a 7.8 magnitude quake. Did you particpate?
^ Never heard of it. I'm gonna be helpless as a newborn infant when the Big One hits.
I didn't feel it, but thanks for the awareness. gives me the spooky feeling.
No? It was all over the news. Check it out.
You did have clean clothes this time, right? :p
^ Yes, and I even had shoes on. I was ready for anything. I was like, "Bring it on, Earth!"
Now I can't get the Temptations "Shaky Ground" outta my head. :-/
Do Californians ever get used to this?

Speaking personally, I'm used to quakes. I've experienced 4 big ones, in 1971 (Sylmar), 1987 (Whittier), 1992 (twin quakes at Landers and Big Bear) and 1994 (Simi Valley). All you can do is be prepared in case you lose power, and ride them out. I live in a modern structure and work in a modern structure, so I don't expect them to collapse.
Old, unreinforced buildings are scary, however.
I don't trip on them. An earthquake hit one night and I said to myself "if it keeps going, I"ll put on pants". It stopped so I just rolled over.
However, the Northridge one got me up and damn near streaking out the house.
Them that gets scared move back east.
I'm also used to them. I was at a pharmacy during the last quake before this one and was the only one not panicking. The little ones can be kind of fun.
Sylmar quake knocked me own my butt, though--right off the top bunk. First time I landed on the ground, I thought I'd just had a bad dream and rolled off the bed. The next round of shaking started right after I'd gotten back into bed and knocked me clean off again. My sister and I wound up sleeping in my mom's bed and we were shaking so hard from fear that she got up and slept on the couch.
The next round of shaking started right after I'd gotten back into bed and knocked me clean off again.
Haw haw!
^I'm glad a 10-year-old's pain amuses you so.
;-D
