    That was either a very big earthquake, and/or it was very close to me.

    Look out your window! See any volcanic eruptions?

    All kidding aside it rocked and rolled pretty good here in Duma this morning. All the chickens and dogs were quiet, but the locals sure got noisy! hehe

    I didn't see any mushroom clouds, or see any dust clouds from falling buildings, so all is well.

    If I had to guess I would say it was around a 6.0, and that is from a guy that has weathered a lot of earthquakes in So. California.

    Looks like 7.2 so far. The usgs site pops up a note about gov furloughs and that info might be inaccurate or late.
