SoCal Guys - Didja Feel That One?

We have a metal sculpture thingy in our living room...a kokopelli figure mounted on a spring-type base. When it was given to us as a wedding present, we were jokingly told it was an earthquake detector.

About 5 or 10 minutes after the quake this morning, LOML called from her office to let me know all was OK. She mentioned the earthquake detector, so I went into the living room, and sure enough, it was still moving back and forth.

As far as the location issue, Lee is right, but there are variances due to the underlying geology. I was about 8 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge quake, but our little town is mostly on granite. 30 or 40 miles away other areas like Santa Monica had more damage, since they are on a softer clay and/or sand base.

Glad to see your damage was no worse than it was, Lee.
