I didn't notice it! I was outside, playing tennis, and I didn't feel a thing. 
Never felt one before, either.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

I was on the BART when it happened, and apparently they shut down for a good five minutes and ran at reduced speeds to make sure the track was all right, but I didn't feel a thing or even notice until the BART train operator came over the intercom. I was too busy reading 
Sigh, I miss So Cal.
lived in LA all my life and in pasadena home of the quake gods who tell us "how big " it was --till it hits a 6.0 you should be fine
till then just go with it or runn in shear terror back to
( tornados--hurricans--blizzards-- floods or what ever) you had back home before you hit CALI --Ill take shakers any time at least all i own is "still" in the same pile not blown all over the county --lol

man that earthquake was big. My dog was barking like mad and my t.v nearly fell down. California is like ragnarok land. thats not a good thing at all.
The one thing I love about living in Wisconsin, no wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and not many tornadoes to speak of. I believe that I have a relatively stable home state....but I still want to live in California for some period of my life...maybe Grad School.

I personally avoid living in places where the destruction comes in "seasons."

It was and I gotta say, not impressed. But I grew up in the south and midwest. I've faced down hurricanes, tornades, thunderstorms, hail, sleet, blizzards, you name it I've been in it. Got myself into a load of trouble by venturing out into a hurricane with a trash can lid when I was a wee lad. I was trying to turn myself into an untethered kite in 100+ mph winds before my mother caught me.
This earthquake just rounded off my exposure to natural disasters. All I need now is a volcanic eruption to complete the set.
Okay, so sure it was surreal, but no more surreal than vibrant green funnel clouds or standing outside in the eye of a hurricane.
It was a 5.6, but one of the reasons people are thinking it was so much bigger is because it was "only" 5 1/2 miles down - so pretty close to the surface, where there's more loose soil and rocks, and the vibrations will travel easier.
The 2001 Nisqually quake up here in Seattle was a 6.8, but it didn't *feel* that big, because it was 27 miles down. Did some serious damage in Seattle proper due to some aging buildings, and it messed up some of our more.. erm.. venerable (!!) roadways (venerable as in they should have been replaced about 20 years ago, but traffic is one of the political things we can't agree on up here, which is why they're STILL not replaced), but generally it felt like a large truck rolling by.
Glad to hear everyone's doing all right, and hope the aftershocks are less of a surprise to Jay.
By the way - Why am I the FPAARN? Go home. It's after working hours.

You left of the musical Cats, but then, there's some disasters no one should have to experience.

Edit: Glad to hear the Cryptic offices are okay -- you guys must've been pretty close to the epicenter.
