That is the news I woke up to this morning, when my clock radio went off at 5am.
Naturally the first thing I thought was if you were alright.
I presume you felt it and all your dishes are still on the shelf. Growing up in So.Cal earthquakes are "just one of those things". We even have them here in Oregon, because of the several volcanoes nearby. Never something to enjoy, though!
Thanks for posting so quickly. I'm sure you will post more details later, and your impressions.

The Tsunami warning is down. ...@Priscilla, in France earthqukes are almost non-existent, but due to mining in earlier days, in Lorraine houses are collapsing. Same effect, I guess. Propz Pilgrim

I didn't feel a thing.

This time the quakes have hit in mountainous but not volcanic land.

Ther American Pacific Seismic Survey picked up a 17cm increase in a wave or 2. There was a bigger wave down south where one man was in the bath when it hit!

Very little damage in comparison with the quake (biggest so far this year).

We're fine, folks

I'm glad you and Zebby are fine.

My last earthquake caught me on the loo. Luckily it did not cause a tsunami.
