6.4 an China Lake, near Ridgecrest at 10:33 AM PDT. I definitely felt it and a 4.0 aftershock at 10;37. We have a globe suspended from our living room ceiling. It was swinging back and forth.

Zoinks. Glad you’re ok. There was a 6.4 on our coast last night but thankfully a few hundred kms south.

I was typing your explanation to the Domenico's having a similar name as it started ... couch felt like it was rolling , C-6's airplane models that are hanging in the Hobby Room all started swinging & the KitchenTable Chandelier. Didn't get out back but the water in the front fountain was sloshing

we had just passed thru Ridgecrest 2 weeks ago on the way to Paradise Ca

We had a few aftershocks, but again, thankfully the epicentre was a few hundred kms away and I didn't feel anything. I know some people who live in a community south of me said they felt the first one.
