Did you guys feel it??? It was a small one... lol.

I WAS GONNA SAY IT1

Yes! So someone felt it, heheh...

I was worried no one was going to feel because...

1) It was a small one.

2) Most of the LA forumers are probably asleep right now. They only would've felt it if it was stronger.

I felt it. It only lasted for approximately 3 seconds...

mine lasted for about 8 - 14

More like 5 seconds, actually.

1..2..3..4..5... Yeah, 5 seconds sounds about right.

I wish it would've been stronger, though... Like 4 or 5. something.

I love those because everyone feels it, everything shakes, but nothing bad really happens.

Oh well... Maybe next time.

Felt it. I heard some glass shaking and my chair was moving cuz I have hardwood floors. It was pretty intense. I was listening to Radiohead and I thought they had caused the earthquake.

4.o north west of northridge.

a strong westerly motion was felt in sherman oaks.

4.5 centered 4.5 NNW of Chatsworth at 12:58 AM

Hhhmm... Really? 4.5? It didn't feel that strong.

I'm still disappointed. :tongue3:

So dogs don't bark before, during or after earthquakes.
Myth busted.

False. I actually heard some dogs barking right before it started and after. Weird.

I just heard myself and other firends on mine screaming on Ventrillo playing World of Warcraft :)

One of the only ones that I've felt since moving here. What a wierd feeling.....dogs started barking immediatley afterwards in Sunset Junction, Silver Lake.

You live by Sunset Junction?

I can't believe many of you guys are still up at that time. If I wasn't at work I would be sleep already.

My co-worker and I felt it, but it hardly noticeable. At first I thought we were losing power to the building and the generator was kicking in. Our office seems to rattle a bit when this happens. When the lights didn't flicker, I knew it was a small quake. We also get emails from a website anytime there is an earthquake anywhere on the planet.

Didn't feel a thing...

I felt it and I was asleep. i was sleeping at my brothers house in Chatsworth.
When I felt this shaking kind of like when wind makes the windows rattle then it got stronger and feels like some huge truck is driving by at full speed. It was intense. What trips me out is why I did not react so fast I just stayed in bed.

^^ cause you were sleepy

Oh that explains why my Heiny tilt over and spill on my bed!

I was watching Conan O'Brien at the time. I wasn't aware it was an earthquake until a minute after. I thought something heavy had fallen on my bed and caused it to rock.

I felt it in my sleep, I thought it was a nightmare.

2 quick jolts in my dorm room.

How come they always happen at night????

I remember a lot of daytime ones

yeah...i remember many day earthquakes...it was 2005 like june...and i was in class and i think it was the second to last week of school...and that week...there were like 3 0r 4 earthquakes like in 3 magnitude range...that whole week...and yeah..it was cool...cuz our the second floor would shake....and it would always happen 5th or 6th period....yup...

^ Yeah sure Dude, what exactly was happening in your dorm??? :hilarious

..... and with a full moon, huh?

I remember a lot of daytime ones

I don't recall any major QUAKES happening during the day time. Maybe up in Frisco but certainly not here!

^ Yeah sure Dude, what exactly was happening in your dorm??? :hilarious

Exactly what you think was happening. Hopefully I'm right about what you're thinking.

I remember that week. We had three 4.0+ earthquakes within days from each other.

I was a high school junior back then and I was taking my last chapter test before finals (two weeks before school ended).

It was funny because they always tell you to go under your desk whenever there's an earthquake, and for the fist time ever, an earthquake happened during class and you know what eveyone did? Instead of going under our desks, we just sat there quietly looking up at the lamps shaking because of the earthquake.

If the building had collapsed, we would all be dead.

another one from the south somewere. around 12:22. nothing yet on the shake maps

I didn't feel it either.

twas only a baby shaker. i barely noticed it myself

A Big one is comming soon. Two earthquakes in like a week.....

^^ yep, everyone says LA is overdew for a big one.

A Big one is comming soon. Two earthquakes in like a week.....

Actually, the more small earthquakes we have, the less possibilities there are of getting hit by the Big One because the energy is being released little by little and not all at once.

Well two earthquakes in like a week tells us that there is tension on the plates. It could just go any minute ....................

And if it goes... Chatsworth is in trouble.
