Hell the wind moves houses around more here in Boston that the majority of Earthquakes do in California

I live in the San Fernando Valley... so basically being raised to feel any little jolt after the Northridge Earthquake, I felt this one. It wasn't much, but at around 12:18, my dad walked in, and I felt it as my chair started to gently move along my plastic floor mat with my butt sitting in it. I got up, started walking toward my door frame just in case, and it ended. I went over to ask if anybody else felt it, nobody did. My brother tried to call shens and said it was cause my little sister was running around. He looked it up and the USGS website, and found it... n00b.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s...u=/ap/20050416/ap_on_re_us/socal_quake
MARICOPA, Calif. - A magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck in Southern California on Saturday and could be felt dozens of miles away in downtown Los Angeles, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The quake struck at 12:18 p.m. and was centered about 13 miles east of Maricopa and 25 miles south-southwest of Bakersfield, according to a preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Maricopa is about 85 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, a Kern County Sheriff's Department supervisor said. A spokesman for the Los Angeles city fire department said he received no damage reports.
