Hope no-one has been hurt or sustained damage in the earthquake.

It was centered about 150 miles from Los Angeles, in the high desert. It's not a highly populated area.

There too, eh? Huh. Vancouver Island, BC experienced a 6.2 late last night.

Very far south from me. I didn't feel a thing.

By strange coincidence I just stayed overnight in Ridgecrest. Nearest hotels to Death Valley. Pretty remote area, not many people around.

I didn't feel it because I was on a hike, and it was too far away. Any closer and it would have disturbed the entertainment lawyers under the rocks.

Never heard of Ridgecrest until about a week ago. Now it looks like we'll be staging a bike ride out of there. I plan on using the CB.
Sidebar: I have heard of China Lake, our Physics department worked with them, sold them a Field Mill developed at our college to be used as a lightening threat detector.

Wow, in Fallbrook, north San Diego county and just felt a decent aftershock. Hundreds of miles from Ridgecrest, but must be near the fault line.

Ahh. This evening’s quake was larger than yesterday’s, 7.1 vs 6.4, which probably explains how it rattled my in-laws place so far away.
Damage is reported in the town of Trona, near Ridgecrest. However, when I passed through Trona on my way to Ridgecrest recently, it looked so eerily empty that I researched it. The town was built to service a Borax plant several years ago. The name Trona is a product used in the processing of Borax. The plant operation slowed to the point that there are just a few permanent residents left. Trona is apparently used these days for filming abandoned town scenes.
Probably few affected people in that town, but my I heart goes out to any Trona residents here on the board and hope your homes and families are ok.

Yes, felt it in Orange Co. I was upstairs and felt a rocking sensation. Looked out the window into the backyard, and the water in the pool was sloshing back and forth. Didn't get out, but then on the second one, it really sloshed about, a big dollop splashed right out. I'm a SoCal native, though, and quakes don't rattle me, too much, anyway.
