YES!!!! It hit quick...no slow, noisy rumble like the last one a few months ago. There was a big gust of wind at the same time and if I'd had my feet
up on the chair, I would have dismissed it, but I definately felt the floor move (concrete slab!)
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

jide--its been said that in a 10.0 quake or larger that the earth's crust can form waves that could crest----can you imagine trying to dive under one
of those?!

Here in South Rosarito
I have a bunch of donation boxes stacked precariously and they didn't fall down. I guess that san antonio del mar got it a little worse. Wonder if
there's a reason for that. Skeet?

That's a great link, Jide... thanks!
I was installing a drip syetem in Carlsbad (near Legoland) when it hit... My amigo and I didn't feel a thing. However, my customer came out of the
house and said "Did you feel the earthquake?".

Selective reception
The same thing happened here. Some felt it and some didn't.

I bet being on a concrete foundation or other structure helped feel the vibration. He said it was a short, quick jolt.

I was on the fourth floor of a 30 story building in downtown SD. It felt like a truck hit the building. No big deal to me but it was fun hearing all
the first-timers talk about how they'd rather face a hurricane or tornado....I don't think so!

If it does break off, will we end up with a East and West Alta California?

I was in Reno and missed the quake. One of my greatest memories of life was being in the desert during a big shaker. I laid on the ground and felt
the power of the earth, full blast.
I know I'm weird. Now you all can know it too.
Earthquakes are wonderous.
