“...My mom who was in the kitchen said she felt nothing, I of course felt it...”

Nerves of steel. Might take a 6 pointer to get her attention LOL. I know people who have lived in California so long they yawn at anything under a 5.0.

I pray for all California FReepers but I have to be selfish and say this site is amazing in how news flies so fast. I was browsing posts, saw the initial thread post on the quake almost immediately after the USGS said it happened and was able to follow almost second by second, California city by city as you reported in. This is better than telephone! Simply incredible.

Stay safe FRiends

Foreshock anyone?

[Stars N Stripes]

Stated with a low rumbling noise, little shaking... 5 seconds later there was some vertical and lateral shaking... lasted maybe 10 seconds...

Well she was talking on the phone to my sister at the time, once she starts talking on that phone it would take an 8.0 to get her attention. I wouldn’t have noticed it either if my desk did not shake. It was over in about 2 seconds, perhaps since I am pretty far away from San Bernardino, but I remember Northridge, and boy that one was a doozy
