being a good prairie boy I couldn't imagine what one was like, but I can now speak from experience. We had a 4.4 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan when I was there. I was out in the open, but it was pretty freaky. I know it scared the bejesus out of a lot of the other country bumpkins that were living there (lots of English teachers there from Saskatchewan and Manitoba). Hope there's no one hurt!

Very strong in my building in Sunnyvale, CA (silicon valley). Our building is relative new, so it sits on rollers. We could definitely notice all of the swaying.

Yep...felt it here. I'm little farther south of it than spiff.
The blinds on the office windows were swaying. One of my guys was over at Office Depot...called him up...he did not feel it, but looked up at the lights and saw them swaying as well.

I moved to LA from Maine 9+ years ago. I'm just now getting somewhat used to it. The smallest quake used to completely freak me out.
If you did not grow up with it, it's VERY hard to get used to. Growing up in Maine, it was just a given...the ground DOES NOT move. It's the ground for cripes sakes!
I've since learned otherwise.

yeah...we get earthquakes all the time too...but not 6.5 earthquakes.
I am a born and raised southern californian. The Northridge quake...which I think was 6.7, and I lived about 40 miles from the center. That one freaked me out.
