I'm fine!

I felt the quake all the way in Mariposa. It was in the middle of nowhere so hopefully did not do much damage.

aris_tgd reported feeling it (though not much) 300 miles away from the epicenter. Glad you're okay.

Glad you're safe!

Glad to hear you're okay!

Maybe this was the earthquake the random guy in Victoria asked me about yesterday when I mentioned the Canadian coast guard!

I'm glad you are okay. ❤

I heard it was way out in the Mohave desert and immediately thought of people I used to know in Lancaster - was that area okay? End of a two hour train journey from LA. They said that was just far enough....

According to the did you feel it shake map: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci38457511/dyfi/intensity

People in Lancaster felt it between a IV and V earthquake. My area felt it as a IV. It was about 30 seconds long, but we had nothing fall off of shelves (and we have a lot on our shelves!). We did get up and go outside which is the first time I've done that in 25 years that I've been here.

Thanks for that. My idea of US geography is fairly vague! I have one friend in Colorado who routinely assures me she's fine whenever anything untoward happens in that state.

Thanks for the update!

Glad to hear it!

I'm glad you're OK---and enjoying the mountains!

If you're going to have a 7.1 in California, the Mojave next to Death Valley is not a bad place for it.

I saw this header in my email with a frisson of horror. What "it could only happen to Rachel" event had you just narrowly survived?

[rachelmanija]

Ha, nothing like that. I was just getting a lot of "Are you OK??" emails.

Thanks for checking in. And what a good time to be in Mariposa.

Phew, very relieved to hear that!

[ladydayelle]

Glad that you are fine. Hopefully the next one will stay in the middle of nowhere.

I am also fine. It rolled for a long duration down this way, but not very strongly. (The hanging lamps above my head swung, but not even the precariously stacked drying dishes did not fall over.)
