Was it just 4.7? I thought it was 5. It was pretty intense here. There was an aftershock a few minutes later though and I didn't really feel that.

Yea, it was a 5.0, but it felt like it could be close to 6. My windows rattled.

Yeah, I am in Culver City. I thought the washing machine was exploding at first, but it just got more intense. Scared the fuck out of the dog. Aftershock was
much less stressful.

It lasted for 10-15 seconds according to the news. That's an eternity when the world is shaking, no?

Went the other way around. USGS had it at 4.7 and then upgraded it to a 5.
It was very boomy shaky unfun. |

I've been closer to 5+ earthquakes than to this one (whatever it ends up at), and I was surprised how strong it felt.

This was only my second big(ish) earthquake since I moved out here. They are sort of crazy.

Well none of us are dead so that is fun enough for me but if that was only a 5 I am not too keen on meeting a 6 or 7.
