Google map of epicentre here (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.9396+-118.3378(M5.0+-+GREATER+LOS+ANGELES+AREA,+CALIFORNIA+-+2009+May+18++03:39:36+UTC)&f=d&t=h&hl=e&ie=UTF8&ll=33.919432,-118.342495&spn=0.119372,0.245991&z=13).
Stuart claims 3-5 seconds. It felt longer than that to me.
At first it felt/sounded like a big truck going by on the street. Then more like a really big truck rumbling through the living room. Then a loud bang of stuff in the bathroom falling over, which nearly gave me a heart attack.
I hid under the computer desk. I'm starting to wonder if there's a way to secure these monitors... they're flat panel but pretty large.
Everything was fine. The lights and internet didn't even flicker.
