I'm glad you're OK, Kitty. Thanks for the information. Still nothing from my family.

i am amazed that there isn't widespread power outages down there, that people can still be posting online. during the nisqually quake the power was out all over for quite a while.

I was in Las Vegas in December 1980 and experienced an earthquake; the Hotel we were in swayed like a pendulum and the swimming pool churned like a whirlpool

Did this quake affect Vegas? I have a cousin there as well.

i was just off-duty from the hospital i worked in at the time [2001] when the nisqually quake hit, the people i chatted with at work said the building creaked and groaned as it and its earthquake "suspension" swayed back and forth, and all unsecured objects fell off shelves and unsecured beds and tables rolled across rooms and banged into walls. the elevators stopped working leaving people between floors. scary.

I think someone in town was there, I forgot if they felt it.

Strongest earthquake along the Southern Californian plate in 20 years!

A full 100 miles away from the San Andreas fault.

The epicenter is 10 miles from Ridgecrest. It wasn’t that near Bakersfield, about 110 miles. It’s very far from Thousand Oaks, 167 miles.

I lived in Ridgecrest one summer. It is very near the desert and the area is minimally populated. As of last night, there were massive power outages in the area. These would have a severe impact on communications.

I lived through the massive San Fernando Valley earthquake in 1971, which was around the same magnitude as this one.

My mom told me that there was a very big earthquake in 1970, I was a baby, my parents went to check on me, my crib was moving, I slept right through it.

That was probably the one. My sister was almost killed by that earthquake. A two ton piece of chimney broke loose and fell through the roof into her bedroom right on top her bed. That earthquake happened just before dawn in pitch blackness. She was away at the time but had she been home she might have been crushed to death.

Thank goodness she wasn't home! Wow!
