This was the First 'Big' Wuake since the Northridge quake in '94 right?
So every 14 years we have a moderate sized quake...
Not bad...
I hope that this was the Quake EVERYONE has been fearing for decades...

Hope this doesn't turn out to be just a fore-shock.

Just heard on the news that there is a 5% chance of this being a foreshock. After 24 hours the risk of it being a foreshock reduces to 1%.

TV says cell phone traffic is jammed in LA. They also said it was possible that some towers had been shut down by officials.
Also they said buildings swayed in downtown LA. Biggest fear right now is broken gas lines.

The magnitude is relatively high because time is a factor in the equation, and this one had a long rolling wave to it. It wasn't a sharp shock, so it wouldn't probably cause as much damage.
Predicting factors? I generally like to watch how people are driving. If I see more accidents, or more people generally driving badly, I think about earthquakes. Maybe somehow the tension in the ground is somehow felt by people, making them more tense and distracted than usual. I thought about it last Friday, actually, because people were driving like crap. I almost posted my prediction, but didn't.
I coulda been a contenda!
