USGS is saying 5.0 for a preliminary report. Centered about 10 miles SSW of the LA Civic Center. Big enough to roll!

It felt like it went on forever. I usually just sit and roll through them, but this one got me up and to my doorway. lol

It felt really big to me, too. I was surprised to turn on the news to find out it was only 4.7.

I guess it all depends where you are in relation to the epicenter. Yikes.

I felt it too! I hardly ever feel them. This one I felt and it rocked for about 5 seconds or so. I think it felt bigger because it was so close.

Exactly. I'm not even in LA and it rocked me hard. Enough to actually startle me, and earthquakes rarely do that to me.

Welllll. I don't update. I just use it for news and stalking celebrities online because they amuse me. lol But I'll definitely add you! Maybe I'll eventually get to tweeting, but for now, I just follow along. :)
