Dammit, I'm getting tired of these things! Especially when I'm high up in a hi-rise building! Our whole building started swaying back and forth, and it felt like I was surfing in my office (we're on the 11th floor). The blinds were swinging and kept banging into the windows, and you could hear the whole building creaking. I bolted out the door and stupidly into an elevator which was already at the wait, which made matters even worse. That thing was swinging all over the place. Somebody wound up getting on at the 5th floor, so I wisely jumped out and took the stairs the rest of the way. I was the first one out of the building, and thought I must've just been imagining it, until the rest of the building wound up evacuating a minute or two later...
Registered at 6.5, and was located up near San Simeon (Hearst Castle), which is about 4 hours away from here. That should tell you how powerful this thing was! But considering I felt the Northridge quake all the way out in Las Vegas, it's not surprising I guess.
My legs are still shaking right now! God, I hate quakes.
