“A few quick jolts just a few minutes ago, was that an earthquake?” and “Something big just caused my overhead lamp to swing!”
So far there have not been reports of damage near the epicenter.
A friend in LA has an app on his phone and got a warning. He shouted to some workers on the roof of his house to hang on, earthquake. It gave a 25 second warning and they all felt it.
Felt it downtown in my office! Others near me didn’t seem to notice it.
Just a Bump, bump, very mild, on OSM.
