Luckily the damage doesn't appear to bad. It was far enough away that the LA folks probably just activated a HP filter and kept rolling! It might have caused some power damage, so people might not be online. Any south coasters who can chime in? David

Holy Crap... I live in Santa Barbara, but wasn't in the area when it happened. Hope my surfboards are still upright... e

Anyone from the SB, Goleta, Ventura area feel the quake?

I sure felt it in Cupertino. It was a pretty gentle (i.e. rolling, not jerking) quake, but lasted longer than most of 'em. It lasted at least 30 seconds up here...

I always get the biggest adrenaline rush when I feel a quake, but they're scary as hell.

Northridge here. I was sitting outside and felt kinda seasick all of the sudden. Stood up, felt even dizzier and realized we were having an earthquake. A real "roller", not a jolt, absolutely no sound.

Kind of surreal for about 30 seconds...

My studio is about 30 miles from the epicenter....Holy Cow Batman!!!... it shook up a storm. I was in my car at the time and it felt like you had a blowout on all four tires...wandered all over 'til you could pull off the road. The studio doesn't look like it has any structural damage but I'm spending today putting stuff back on shelfs etc. Biggest problem was the hard drives that took leaps onto the floor. Not going to put them back up until I've got a method for holding them down. Paso Robles, ten miles north of us, took a heavier blow. Our town's oldest and most impressive structure has been roped off and deemed unsafe...we're all hoping that it can be saved. Aftershocks still shake us occassionally. Man, sure am glad that it was a 6.5 instead of a 7 something! Hope you all have a stable, joyous holiday season. Around here it's like Jerry Lee Lewis sang... "Whole Lot Of Shakin' Goin' On"

I didn't feel anything here in Glendale, but my friend who mixes at the Hyperion Theatre in Anaheim said that in the middle of his crew meeting they all looked up from the orchestra pit to see the flown speaker arrays & light trusses swinging around.
