Grover... many shock waves are associated with an earthquake 'specially a deep on such as this. The slower "rolling" waves often come after the
initial push pull or up down vibrating shocks. Amusingly, some of these slower (more intense) rolling waves do more damage by breaking down brick or
block structures... They have many names foe slightly different waves but some of them are called "Love" waves. I suggest you try to enjoy them...but
keep an emergency kit in the trunk of the car. Signed...a used geologist...

Pretty good jolt in downtown LA. I have been in way too many quakes. Was in the middle of the Northridge one too. If earthquakes don't bother you you
have not lived through too many of them or you don't know much about them. You never know what ur gonna get.....Can't wait to retire and move...

Was working outside in east Escondido, not a thing felt on ground level there... However, Baja Angel works on the second floor in San Marcos (5 miles
away) and the building really "rolled" that everyone around her felt it.

It's looking like they're trying to make way too much out of this "minor" quake.

We Were in Line at San Ysidro
Going north at the time of the quake.
Did not feel it all, unless the bass from the boom truck next to us disguised any shaking.
Just a little extra salsa added to the day, I guess.

My wife and I were sitting at LAX waiting for our plane to Mazatlan, after it rolled for about 15 seconds I said lets go and we moved to a reinforced
area, we were the only ones to notice and get moving.
