Felt it too!

 

We felt it real good out here in Ontario.

 

Felt it on Sunset and Poinsettia Place, just north of West Hollywood. We moved to LA in mid-July, and since we slept through the 1AM one last month, this was the first earthquake I've actually "experienced"...

 

is that what that was? I just thought it was the rumble of our video game controller.

 

Here, near the Beverly Center, it was longish rattle, not a quick boom.
