Really slightly

July 29th, 2008 by Dave

An earthquake moderately shook up LA and, supposedly Las Vegas this morning:

A strong earthquake shook Southern California on Tuesday, causing buildings to sway and triggering some precautionary evacuations. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

The jolt was felt from Los Angeles to San Diego, and slightly in Las Vegas.

The 11:42 a.m. quake was initially estimated at 5.8 by the U.S. Geological Survey but was revised downward to 5.4. More than a dozen aftershocks quickly followed, the largest estimated at magnitude-3.8.

I didn’t feel a thing, so I guess the shaking was very, very slight. It’s a strange day, though: I’ve had two cases of mistaken identity already
