I woke up from my siesta with my loft shakin, ...didn;t take me long to get the hell out.
Looked @ the internet, it was a 5.1 a few miles offshore Rosarito.
Anyone felt it there?
Yep, loud n clear.

But not enough for any damage though. You sure the numbers were correct ?jide - 6-15-2004 at 03:56 PM
yes, there was also another one near Mojave, CA a couple minutes later and a little smaller.jide - 6-15-2004 at 03:59 PM
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!)jide - 6-15-2004 at 04:20 PM
does anyone knows if the surf picks up after an offshore earthquake?
Not so far

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? pappy - 6-15-2004 at 08:19 PM
40 seconds later another quake hit off Vandenberg afb- could it be we are starting the slide into the ocean??jide - 6-15-2004 at 08:22 PM

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?".

The same thing happened here. Some felt it and some didn't.David K - 6-15-2004 at 10:01 PM
I bet being on a concrete foundation or other structure helped feel the vibration. He said it was a short, quick jolt. Bajaboy - 6-16-2004 at 02:17 AM
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 think I'll run over to

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.Skeet/Loreto - 6-16-2004 at 04:12 PM
My wife and I were getting out of our Car in Front of Applebee's Resturant in Merced, Cailf. We felt the movement. I thought at first I was having a
small Stroke.
Noted the time and later heard the Report.

GeoRock, do you remember what the richter magnitude was of your desert quake event? That must have been something else!
