I think there was just a little one.
I was engrossed in writing an email so I didn’t even realize it.
Now to check out the USGS site.
UPDATE: Here’s the info on the quake: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/ci14312160.html

If you felt it, don’t forget to report it here.
:: MAP: Did You Feel It? ::
Yep, totally! This was the first place i thought to turn for confirmation that I wasn’t crazy. Wow!
4.5 .. Felt pretty well in Westchester

Felt it in Lincoln Heights.
What is wrong with us people?
Potential end of the world shit happens and the first thing we do is blog about it…
(you beat me by less than a minute)
Felt it in Burbank
Felt it. Heard it. Woke me up.
I posted on the USGS site too. I’m in 90405.
The party next door whooped and kept on rockin’.
(Yup, I realized that the first thing I did was to start typing. Sheesh.)
I felt a nice little 3-second shake in 91423.
The kitty cat predicted it, too.
You guys were quicker than the local news sites at reporting this.
felt loooong here in the Valley. 20+ seconds
Srsly!
woke me up out of a sound sleep. Nic the cat is hiding under the couch.
You flyboys crack me up.
Well *that* was fun. :P
i was sitting here reading blogs, didnt feel it at all. hollywood.
whoa! cats totally freaked and ran, while I went “deer in the headlights” throughout the entire thing… Felt like a strong wind hit the house, but then I realized things were shaking and jiggling… representing the 90026! (first one from my zip to report on the USGS site)
Was downtown at The Edison and didn’t feel a thing.
Slept right through it all in outer monrovia
I slept right through it, but we had weird animal action last night – my dog (the smartest dog in the world!) fought and killed a possum in the wee hours of the morning, after the quake. I think my roommates felt it, though
I slept right through it here in southern Silver Lake but when I mentioned it to my wife after reading this post she excitedly told me it woke her up.
On a side note to Marshall… please tell me your dog is the smartest in the world for some reason other than fighting and killing an opossum.
It woke me up and freaked out the dog (who has been through much bigger).
I was tempted to boot up the computer and see what was up, but I was really tired.
Curiously, PBS aired a earthquake preparedness special last night.
I was right smack dab in the middle of it since I live in Chatsworth.
I, normally the one to bolt upright out of a sound sleep during an earthquake, slept right through it. Could it have been the two large glasses of great read wine I had with dinner? Hmmmm.
And the smartest dog in the world sounded more like the angriest dog in the world….
pretty vigorous in Silver Lake. Our whiniest cat in the world made it no easier.
I thought I was losing it because we just got one strong jolt out on the westside. Thought maybe someone crashed into my apartment….
About that smart, smart dog. He’s the smartest dog in the world for reasons of general cuteness. He got a bucket of water thrown at him cause he wouldn’t stop barking about the possum.
Slept like a baby through it in Sherman Oaks. But I’m a native. You whiny transplants!
I’m a non-native, so this was my first quake (and I’ve lived here 2+ years.) It woke me up – but I think this is because I have exclusively Ikea furniture, which turns out to be *noisy* when it shakes.
I’m a native who lived through the 94 quake and I thought this was going to be a big one. Luckily, it stopped soon.
We felt a pretty good shake in Agoura Hills. My husband startled me more than the earthquake did. And we could hear the birds twittering pretty loudly outside afterward.
Well MY stupid cat didn’t notice a thing. . . I’m thinking I should be concerned.
But yes, it was rumbly here in Hollywood, though all my vases stayed upright.
i was playing grand turismo 4 and all of a sudden, the force feedback was affecting more than my hands, took me a second to figure out what was happening.
Osc, I thought it felt like the BIG ONE was about to start too. I was so relieved when it subsided.
The first few seconds of shaking shot a jolt of fear through me, reminding me of the horrible Northridge quake when I had to run out of my house with everything falling on my head, my neighbors screaming, the power going out and transformers exploding. Not looking forward to a repeat of those experiences.
