Shook pretty good here in Burbank, about 30 miles west of the epicenter.

Good local video coverage here. No damage where I'm at, shook for 20 seconds or so.

about 5.6 to 5.8, pretty strong and long here in Orange County, CA

Definitely a nice jolt here in the Yorba Linda/Anaheim Hills area (a handful of miles from the epicenter). No need for my afternoon coffee! My four year old asked my wife why they don't do things closer to home. They happened to be in Fullerton at the time, so it was pretty intense for them.

We can still call it a 5.8!

That's the credit crunch for you ;-)

Hope all the West Coast DPCers are fine.

You can get the latest scientific information and help with research by reporting your experience to the USGS here.

Yeah 5.4 now, from the USGS. 5.8 was from Cal-Tech, I feel robbed too :)!

Felt it at work here in L.A. Pretty strong, but nothing scary.

Must've had the shake reduction feature turned on.

"According to the USGS archives, it's the biggest California earthquake since September 28, 2004"

That's bull because there was a 5.6 up here near San Jose last October.

I went outside and it felt like I was standing on a boat. It seemed to last a long time in Huntington Beach.

My first earthquake in Santa Monica, pretty scary. Ended up in the aisle at work clutching either side of the cubicles. Must've been a funny site for all the earthquake veterans.
