This is the USGS detailed info...

BTW, weather has nothing to do with earthquakes and earthquakes have nothing to do with weather. Earthquakes are a function / result of tectonic plate movement and shifting.

Just brought back some neat memories - I know but when the bed scoots across the floor and back at 2 am due to one - it's a memory!
Calif is Earthquake country.
My dogs had no idea what was happening with the whole house shaking. Thank heavens for good solid foundations

Boy, I must really concentrate while I'm on this board. I just told DH about the earthquake having read it here and he pointed to the t.v. five inches from my arm. CNN and coverage from Washington. Yes, I feel a little silly.

Hope everyone is okay there.

And we are again back to ABC special news report - re: earthquake lol.
All the way up to New York City felt it.
Saying 5.9
3.7 miles down into the earth - guess it's shifting time.

It doesn't happen often - nothing like the West coast.
