Anyone here in the L. A. area feel it? I’m in Carson, and it was a gentle almost apologetic roller about three minutes ago. ---

The epi was around Calexico. That is where a rather nasty one hit a few months ago. ---

Got a nice jolt out here in the Inland Empire. No rolling, just a sharp shock that lasted maybe 3 seconds or so. ---

San Pedro, felt NOTHING. I feel left out! ---

I’m in LA and felt it. Pretty gentle one here except for one little shock. Otherwise, gently rolling along. ---

West side. I think I was walking home when it happened. I apparently was lost in thought while listening to my iPod because I didn’t notice a thing. ---

Mr. Rilch is okay. I was pretty worried because I didn’t know **exactly** where he was. I knew he was lighting some Twilight promo, but I didn’t know if he was up in a crane, on a platform, or in any other way vulnerable. When I finally got ahold of him, he said he’d been at ground level all night and hadn’t noticed a thing.
