I just moved out of the Valley to the Dallas area last week. I would have almost certainly felt that one. It would have been the biggest I experienced in nearly 10 years of living in LA most likely. Phew!

I remember waking up and seeing that it was only past 1am and went back to sleep. I guess I wasn't awake enough to realize WHAT had woken me up. Or maybe I did but thought it was a dream cause I was thinking about the Indonesia quake all day.

It's an ineffectual earthquake if L.A. is left standing.

Thanks Smaxie for the kind thoughts.

I didn't feel a thing but my partner did. We haven't had any small quakes in quite a while. I'd rather have a few small ones than one big one.

I have nothing against the Angelenos. It's your ugly city I can't stand.

Yes. I felt it. It was just before 1am. I live in Venice. It was two quick jolts. Our bedroom door rattled a little. That was it. Pretty un-eventful.
I'm still waiting for the next big one.
Anyhow, I heard that there were tornados in Brooklyn. Now that's scary!

I wouldn't call LA ugly, necessarily. The weather sure isn't (except late August/early Sept)

I didn't feel anything and I was totally awake at the time...weird. A lot of my friends were talking about feeling it though.

Don't be hating on our ugly city... re: earthquake in LA.

I cried looking at downtown L.A. on a recent visit. I really think what happened to the city proper is one of the great urban tragedies of the 20th century. There are beautiful parts of the surrounding environs, and of course, beautiful people as a great compensation. But the downtown is like one of those films set in the not-too-distant future, where a once thriving city has been abandoned.

the official location, according to the USGS was 4 miles SSW of Chatsworth. It struck at 12:58 AM with a 1.6 aftershock recorded at 1:16 AM.

As a lifelong L.A. resident who has been through every major quake here since the Sylmar one in 1971, I can tell you that a 4.5 is really nothing in comparison.

I now know where the location of the Big Brother house is because the earthquake happened at the house during the live feeds!

The Big Brother house has always been on the lot at CBS Radford.

Yeah, only a few parts of LA can really be called, "scenic" and they are few and far between. Love the weather though. Hate trying to drive anywhere in that town.

So did it roller coaster or just jolt? We have had some really good ones up North but they stopped, just like that. None lately. I love the call in shows though after an earthquake. I don't think we can take anymore real big ones up here. They are still re-building the Bay Bridge, so you keep those quakes down south please. Plant some trees, buy some paint, just do something.

I know it's the Desert. Plant a few more cactus pls? Ha,ha, get some of those neon signs like they have on Broadway! That ought to make it look real pretty !:p
