The dogs barked first and then the shake and a long roll....
We are about 20 miles from the epicenter.....
My sister, who just had the emergency with her grandson in Africa, was right spot on in the epicenter. She slept in her hallway where there are no windows or shelves....oh my

Oh dear! I had not heard there was an earthquake. I hope no one was hurt and no damage done.
Must be scary.

This is about two weeks after a stronger quake hit off Eureka, in northern CA, 6.9 on the scale. A long way from LA, but makes you wonder what will happen next.
That earlier one is not far from I used to live and where I got lyme disease.

Good thing not much damage - it's much better to have smaller quakes than anything huge...glad you're ok, dogsandcats -
Animals hear a low sound, so I'm told - cats, dogs, cows, etc - they get the warning first -

Yep. I am with surprise. I don't miss the rocking and rolling.
The aftershocks after a big one got to me...very unnerving.
I also couldn't tell if it was an earthquake or lyme when I first came down sick and would be out in my power chair.
I finally began to figure things out...if people are joining you out in the street it is an earthquake.
If you have the symptoms and people are not evacuating their homes...it is lyme. Posts: 15927 | From Became too sick to work or do household chores in 2001. | Registered: Dec 2002

Maybe you didn't mean this to be funny, kam, but I got a laugh out of it. Black humor, lyme style.

If you have ever been through one of these, you won't forget it. Before I left VA, I experienced one. Funny that I never knew that VA was active that way. We lived there for over 30 years.
The epicenter of this quake in VA was West of Richmond VA. Turns out there is an active area there that affected my area and all the way up the east coast. My dogs knew it was coming.
Hope everyone is okay in CA.

I live in the Midwest.. not that far from a huge earthquake in the 19th century that changed the course of the Mississippi River! That's how big it was.
There have been a few in our area, but always so small you don't even notice.

I too had to look to the outside once to figure something out about a quake. I was riding in a train, I felt a bump, thought it might be something like a shopping cart, the train stopped, they announced there'd been an earthquake and we all had to get off.
So a couple hundred people get off the train and cross through a used car lot, and the manager was having apoplexy because all the parked cars had hit each other!
That's how we realized there'd been a QUAKE. That was the '89 one.

First earthquake I went through (before the '89 one)
was in the middle of the night, and the SOUND woke me up. The earth was roaring, and I couldn't figure it out to save my life.
Everywhere we live there will be something: tornadoes, winter storms, fire threats, floods, etc.
I will take my near daily sunshine state with flowers blooming nearly all year in incredible diverse landscape, no mosquitoes, no snow, no humidity, hands down, rolling or not :-)
From MN to CA = heaven.
