Did it wake you up, or were you already awake at 4:22 in the morning?

4.4, about 2 miles Pico, according to one site I found, around 4:07 a.m. local.

I had just gotten back into bed from a trip to the bathroom. Very short, with a sharp jolt.

I probably would have just slept through it if I hadn't been coincidentally up.

Maybe you should get that checked out, I don't think a sharp jolt is normal. And if you would've slept through it, your bed would probably be wet right now.

The only reason we woke up was our 2 cats went absolutely insane. A lot of people I've talked to say it felt a lot bigger than a 4.4. I'm really glad that I'm working in a building that is not up to earthquake code this morning, that's for sure.

I'd rather deal with an earthquake than hurricanes, thanks.

Heh... as soon as I read my post from this morning a moment ago, I had a feeling I would have a response like this.

Not sure why you chose that as your rebuttal but at least you can prepare for a hurricane.

Animals go crazy because they sense it coming.

And other then talking about the big one that might happen in the next 5years, the earthquakes are nothing much

exactly. as long as nothing is damaged, they are literally nothing. rain is more annoying. an earthquake is 7 seconds of your life, then everything is the same as it was 8 seconds ago

i will regret posting that when an 8.0 earthquake hits here, though.

We felt very small "tremors" at my house west of Phoenix a couple of hours ago.....lasted like 8-10 seconds and barely able to feel it....Thought I was imagining it for a minute.

Today's quake was fairly big at our place, we all felt it. But fortunately we are 300 miles from the epicenter.

I read the earthquake was centered near Tijuana on the Baja not LA.

Never felt it, but I think I was on the freeway at the time.

Yeah, that was my first earthquake experienced from the top of an office building. That was different. A really major one in a high rise must be quite an experience.
