From Pasadena.. felt like a large truck driving by for 15 seconds..
In San Pedro. Felt it for 10-20 seconds, moderate rolling the whole time, but nothing heavy duty. We had shit literally fly across the room, though.
Our alcohol bottles started rattling and I thought, if it gets bigger, that’s gonna suck to clean up. Nothing fell down in West LA.
Out in North Hollywood we thought it was a truck at first. Then more violent jolting shakes came and rattled all the wine glasses.

Felt it at Original Thai BBQ in Hollywood. Also thought it was a truck, as it didn’t feel that hard, but enough to know wasn’t no truck! Lot’s of people were freaked out, and out loud I belted "Meh."

I was on Yucca, just behind the Scientology Celebrity Centre (was going to dinner on Franklin, not going to "church") and didn’t feel a thing. I was parking, but my car was barely moving. I was really dizzy when I got out of my car, but thought it was just because I hadn’t eaten all day. However, my husband was parking his car and Bronson and definitely felt it. He thought someone was shaking his car side to side.
I was on La Cienega at the Coronet for the Jonathan Coulton show and thought the lady behind me had kicked my seat. great show, by the way!

Similar description from others in our group. Felt like someone behind kicking the seat. Pretty mild quake, but a great show.
