I'm at work about 5 miles from chez Jensen, never felt a thing. The boss was getting ready to walk out the door when it happened and she felt it, said she thought at first it was an exceptionally loud train (there's a set of tracks about 3/4 mile from the house) but no damage.

Yeah nothing here, but felt like a truck or three hit the plant.

The epicenter turns out to have been about 4 1/2 miles southeast of the house but only about 1 1/2 miles west of the kid's school. I called out there, they said they never felt a thing. It seems all the reports came from areas west of the epicenter. Weird.

Yeah, by Cali standards this one wasn't even worth mentioning. It also turns out the original epicenter location was wrong, it was actually a good ways west of my place which explains why the kid's school didn't shake.
