Was a long one---not a hard shaker here in IB, but just kept moving. Thought it would never stop! Waiting for the aftershocks.

Didn't time it, but have been in many an earthquake and this one was a VERY long lasting one. If it was only 30 seconds, they were a very long 30 seconds. Or at least it felt that way. :biggrin:

Our house in Campo La Jolla was really moving, for a long time. It was the most shaking I have ever felt.

pool water was sloshing out here in San Diego
my sister in LA said it was also very strong up there!

San Felipe would be fairly close to the epic center

I'm near Disneyland. I was very close to the epicenter of the Sylmar and then later, the Northridge quake. While it merely rolled rather gently here, the duration was just about as long as I remember from those other quakes. That magnitude, preliminary as it may be, puts it very close to the Northridge quake.

Just heard from a friend in Ensenada. He said that at his place the earthquake was what we've come to call a 'roller'.... not a big bang/boom and jump of the earth, but like being on a very small roller coaster... seemed to last a long time. We quit talking when a sizable aftershock hit.

(Edit: Friend said he ran outside to the street where he watched his house move around on its foundation)

Pool water wash still sloshing out of the pool here in Huntington beach quite a while (3 minutes or more) after we had figured out there was an earthquake and not just our ears... and gone out front of the house. So 4 to 5 minutes of big rolling.:?:

Wow.... biggest one I've ever experienced, and the longest by far. Was my wife's first one... she was holding on to the refrigerator, and my dog slept right through it. Seemed to start mild and then increased shaking took place, then slowly tapered off after 30+ seconds.

Hope those in the Mexicali/San Felipe area are OK!

Upset our dogs---they don't like earthquakes. In Asuncion, one of our dogs usually knows it is coming, but they are really loud quakes, so we think he hears it before we do.

No advance warning from the dog for this one---no noise.

I wonder about my friends in Calexico.
