Over by LAX. They will suspend flights until the runway can be inspected.

I thought it was at least a 6.0

Probably on the Newport-Inglewood fault. That goes down to Newport Beach so maybe that's why it seemed so strong to me.

Just posted in offshore QL....Barely even felt it on the Orange/Anaheim border. No crack, nothing settled and nothing on the shelves or walls budged. Just 2 separate rolls that I felt through the bed while watching TV. Weird since I'm no more than 35 miles from Epi.

I'm wondering if it's because I'm 3 stories up. I've felt 3.0 earthquakes here but I've only been here for a year or so. Every time an earthquake hit that was higher than a 3.0 I was on the ground at work.
