Seismic recordings and go to the Capital Peak 111610(12) link. You can also look at the others to dsee the delays in time and magnitude as distance changes.
Iris.edu is saying 4.1 |

I think one of my sisters friends from high school may have been killed in the Northridge quake. We haven't confirmed it, though, because we've never seen a list of victims names, but they were communicating via Facebook before the quake. Her friend lived in the Northridge area. My sister hasn't heard from her since. |

i remember that quake. i was living in lancaster in the desert just north of LA and i had to abandon my game of contra to run outside for a minute. the parents had a foreign exchange student from spain with us at the time and he ran out of the house in his underwear completely freaked out wondering "wtf was that?!" finished playing contra as i rode out the aftershocks.
like spankybear and the others i don't get out of my house unless it's a 5.5 bare minimum |

Facespace was launched 10 years after the quake. |

The quakes I remember most are the 1971 San Fernando/Sylmar (6.6), the 1987 Coalinga (6.5), the 1989 Loma Prieta/Super Bowl (6.9) and the 1992 Cape Mendocino (7.2) quakes. I felt each of those quakes even though I didn't really live near where they hit (closest was Sylmar, about 50 miles from us at the time). Another quake that sticks in my mind, but I don't remember actually feeling it, was one that happened 1978-ish. Dad & I were driving south on Hwy. 101, just where the road curves to the left as you come into Santa Barbara. There was a train stopped on the tracks on the west side of the highway and traffic was getting kinda backed up. Not unusual for that location. Then we saw that some of the train cars were derailed and there was a set of wheels sitting in the area between the road and the tracks.  Traffic was backing up because all the traffic lights in town were out. There was an alarm going off to our left and we could see broken windows in a number of buildings. Apparently the quake had just happened a few minutes before. I remember hearing later that it was a small (3.8-4.1?), relatively shallow quake located just a few miles off shore near the Channel Islands. I was a little pissed that I didn't get to watch the train derail. |
