That one rolled like the Sylmar quake in '71

I was sitting in my car, waiting for the light to change and I sorta felt my car being pushed forwards and backwards. I wasn't sure why that was. Then I got to El Pollo Loco and everyone said their cell phones weren't working. So I get back to Wachovia and my dad is telling me that we just had an earthquake.

Eeh, I'm not too impressed with what I felt.

Ahhh, I have my USGS notification level set for 6.0. So no notification for me.

Am I allowed to send hopes that everyone is alright or will that just get me ridiculed for a 5.6?
