Just felt one...or two.

Felt shaking, then there was a pause, then more shaking. Neither seemed very large.

When I first read "east of Oceanside", I didn't think that sounded right. But it turns out that Borrego Springs is more east of Oceanside than I realized (as in, though it is about 90 miles, Borrego Springs IS east of Oceanside, which surprised me).

USGS is all over the place on magnitude. When I first looked, it was reporting as 5.7. It was later upgraded to 5.9. Now, it is showing as 5.4.

We missed it. :(

If my co-worker hadn't said something, I might not have noticed it at all. When I did, it was a most pleasant rolling. I guess my negative reaction to the reaction is because she nearly panicked - and so when twitter and facebook naturally exploded with something actually happening, it seemed a bit overmuch. Anyway, my co-worker kept insisting it was a huge quake, and the sensation must have been dampened because we we feeling it from atop a tall building.


We're on the third floor.:rolleyes:





Northridge was scary. Everything since has been quite fun.

I definitely noticed that one. It woke me up. I thought we got buzzed by a fighter jet (which happens every now and then).
