Did we just have an earthquake? (12/5 8:22pm)

SzczerbiakManiac · 12-05-2008, 09:25 PM

My building just shook pretty good for about 10 seconds. Did anyone else feel it or was it some local phenomenon?

http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/116-35.htm says there was an earthquake just a moment ago. 5.5 near Barstow and 29 Palms.

Yes, we did.

5.5 near Ludlow

My chair swayed a bit, and I thought I was dizzy and going to pass out or something, because it was very slight rolling with no pre-shaking.

Then, I noticed the bird's toys swinging slightly, so I checked the earthquake site.

Yes. And then it stopped.

No no. You have it all wrong. It's only 7:51pm here right now. The earthquake hasn't happened yet.

Oh, GC....you have a whole set of faults to worry about.
