I was in a 3 story office building in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley, and at first there was some slight movement, but within a few seconds it went into full blown rolling. You should have seen the look on some people's faces.

I live 45 minutes South of the area where it originated from and it was pretty strong. My whole house shook for 12-15 seconds. This one was longer than the others I have felt before.
The "weird" thing is that when an earthquake first happens- you don't realize it until it's done- they normally last for 3-5 seconds.

I was in south OC (Santa Margarita) at my desk and the tilt up building started shaking but I guess I'm so used to them I didn't even stop working. It kept shaking so I figured I guess I should go outside or something but then it stopped. After Northridge, this was nothing!
