Earthquakes in LA?

[growler_south]

So who felt that? According to Xeni there was a 3.? followed by a 5.? about 70 miles east of downtown LA...

Update: Yes I know earthquakes happen all the time and no-ones impressed any more. New Zealand is one big fault-line with a few volcanoes thrown in for good measure, so I'm well acquainted with earthquakes. I was merely interested in who, if anyone, actually felt those two. (The last one I felt made me wonder if my hangover was worse than I thought- until I looked at Mo and saw he had the same "was that an earthquake or was it just me?" look...)

Actually I meant Liquifaction, not liquification. But I think 8" would feel like 8.0 in any case...

Did the earth move for you?

7.3 feels like 9.5" (and 5" around)--you really know you're getting fucked!

I haven't felt anything seismic since early 2001 when we had a 6.8 south of Seattle. I was in an old masonry building that rocked like hell. And I was at a urinal. That was fun.
