Just had a light earthquake just big enough to feel for a few seconds. It occurred at 10:29 AM (PDT) today, Sunday, September 2, 2007.
The magnitude 4.7 event occurred 8 miles(13 km) WNW of Lake Elsinore, CA. Which is due east of where I live here in Anaheim, CA and approx 30 + miles away.
The hypocentral depth is 2 miles (2 km).
It was a sharp shake, followed by a few seconds of a 'sliding motion'... trust me, they all have different feels to them!
This was extremely minor and just one of those you stop, then shrug and go about your day kind of quakes.
Trust me, we like these :) and nothing like a hurrican or tornado, and even if a quake is a bad one, they are years in between and still, tornados and hurricanes are every year swathing a path of destruction.
