"Earthquake Detected! Drop, Cover, Hold On. Protect Yourself. -USGS ShakeAlert."

Nothing when first went to USGS map, then suddenly a 5.0 red spot emerged. Didn't feel a thing. Spookey.

Felt it. I am in Richmond on the third floor and the building swayed a little.

I wonder if we will get Chicom sleeper alerts. "Chicom Activation Detected! Drop, Cover, Hold On. Protect Yourself. Use nearest unliked relative as human shield!"

I didn't notice anything.

Ha!

I was in a supermarket near ground zero, maybe two miles as a crow would fly.

Lots of shaking then wavvy motion. A few items fell off shelves. Never got that alert on my phone.

I was working at the office earlier this week in a 3rd floor tower in SSF. Large apple monitor shook a few times so I noticed it. Lots of others in the company noticed it more given the slack posts I saw.

Monitor had a good (small) shake for about 1 second and then settled down completely over a total of maybe 5 seconds.

If not for the monitor I wouldn't have noticed.

Obligatory your mom joke....

The reason there was an earthquake was because your mom got out of bed.

*My apologies in advance, if you are offended.

I once worked in a 10 story building. Not a tall building by any stretch of the imagination. But for some strange reason, sometimes I would be sitting at my desk and I could feel the building swaying. Not a hard sway but a slight sway none the less. Most of my coworkers didn't notice anything, except for one. We would instant message each other every time we felt it.

I think we were feeling the rumble of blasting they were developing new gated communities a few miles west.
