George,
I felt that earthquake all the way out here in Torrance. I was still awake, after getting home from the game.
It actually lasted for a pretty long time. It wasn't very strong, but it did sway the house for quite a long time.

George-
You bet! It shook us awake, we lay there for a few minutes, then Marlana asked if I should move the S2000 out of the garage, in case anything might fall off the shelves. I didn't move it, and we were fine.
A few weeks age we read an article in the LA Times about a bunch of houses up the hill from us having problems with slippage, and it said that there's a pretty decent fault running just North of us; I suspect that's where the quake was.
Wyoming, anyone?

On a related note, did anyone see the discovery channel program the other night about Yellowstone National Park being located on a "super volcano" which is starting to come back to life?

Couldn't find anything on the Discovery Channel website, although I did find this:
http://www.mines.utah.edu/~rbsmith/RESEARCH/UUGPS.html
The ash layers in Yellowstone show evidence of three giant, caldera producing eruptions occuring at 600,000 year cycles, with the last happening about 600,000 years ago.

After actually watching a handful of TV shows last week (a couple on TLC and a couple on discovery), I'm convinced that whoever makes these shows is trying to get us all to think the world is coming to an end! I saw one called "super tsunamis". The whole second half of the show was talking about an island off the coast of Africa and how it might create a "super tsunami" that would make it to the U.S. and wipe out everything within 10 miles of shore. All accompanied by the music that's supposed to strike fear in you or something, along with the really cheesy animation/simulations. And whenever something bad happens, the camera starts shaking violently so we can't actually see anything. Comical!
