I felt if for about a minute or so in Long Beach, Ca. The apartment was swaying, but no damage or injuries. It was my first quake since moving to CA and was no fun at all.

Felt like it was a rolling earthquake over here. Probably lasted just under a minute. No damage, just some books fell out of my already overfilled bookshelves.

Some windows at a few buildings in other parts of San Diego shattered, but not surprised considering the age of those buildings.

It felt like a rolling earthquake for me, too. I was leaning against the wall in my chair when the earthquake started, and it took me a few seconds to realize that there was an earthquake. Also, I was incredibly dizzy earlier at the time, so the shaking didn't exactly help. :P

There have been a few aftershocks. We felt some of them but nothing major. Meh.

Meh. Didn't even notice, I'm a bit further north though.

If you felt it in the Central Valley, I would have been really shocked. I had a few friends in the Tucson/Scottsdale area that felt the quake.

Some windows in the San Diego Sports Arena shattered but no one's surprised since that building is rather old and no renovation or upgrades have been done for at least 20 years.

I'm from Ventura county - a bit North of LA and south of Nephthys. We didn't feel a thing.

Felt about the same as the Northridge quake felt in San Diego. You could tell it was a big one from far away rather than a smaller one that was close. It was the first "big" earthquake for some of the younger kids at the family Easter shindig, so some splaining was required. But they pretty much just took it in stride. It's possible that my rousing game of "zombie apocalypse tag" in the yard might have had something to do with it though... ;)
