HEHEHE I wish I coulda been there to watch everyone run Like Kids on a playground. We Live with them Every Day In California, Most are so small you cant even feel them. But I was here for the 89 quake, and it Scared the Feces outta me. Being a California Native, a 5.9 is no worse than getting on a roller coaster

It was felt all the way up to Toronto...and down through the Carolina's...I missed it but that's because at the time I had workers ripping apart my front steps...figured it was just them with the jackhammer...
The last one that rumbled NJ was at 10:30pm and I thought a big dump truck had rolled by...it lasted maybe 40 secs or so...people forget that we ARE on a fault line...just not as active as others are...
@ Nub...
I lived out in CA briefly, but while there several quakes hit and I never felt any of them...like you said, it's commonplace out there...

I felt it here in PA. too. I had to go into work for a bit to help, they evac'd all the buildings in downtown Wilkes-Barre. People were freaking out.

I work down in Chalfont, we felt it, but they didn't stop work or evacuate anyone at our place.

I was in the car when it happened and didn't notice but some friends/relatives here in NewEngland felt it. I was in a 3.2 in Maine about 25 years ago and it felt like the house dropped a foot. I've heard we here in NE perceive smaller quakes as more than they are because we're mostly on bedrock versus Cali on softer sedimentary layers.

I was watching the World Series when that hit. We didn't feel it up in the Sierra Nevadas though. But you are right, a 5.8/9 is the sort of thing that just keeps California cows happy. Check youtube if you need to understand that statement.
