I was at the barn in Burbank and didn't feel a thing. None of the horses reacted either.

Camshaw's horse got a bent oil line though. ;)

Glad to hear everyone checking in.

I guess I have to wait a while longer for my beach front property in Az.
It is not a large quake until it sloshes the water out of my pool here in Phx, and it has happened several times. Last time I had 6-8 inch waves.

I was having dinner in Apple Valley, didn't feel a thing. Although the beer was 9.0% ABV, that may explain it!

About five miles from Epicenter, felt like the house was dancing. Stuff fell over and more cracks in the garage. Google Earth link showed the epicenter to be under the gate of a local police station....
