[...] Image by Anthony Citrano James’ Beach restaurant in Venice – *the* epicenter of the shaker we had in Venice, California tonight. I checked out the area and everything was fine – a few things knocked over, but wow, people [...]

Amigo–I like the idea of the pod–it looks cool and you get some good work done there I can tell. But it does not look real earthquake–proof. I'm not saying you should go bunker or anything but the whole cantilevered in space design…maybe some mattresses scattered arttfully around beneath it…in the meantime–I'm with Josh Morgan–you're better off there than here.
ciao, DRS

It's bizarre that I felt it here in Mar Vista. I felt a jolt, and then the whole place swayed. I ran to the front door ready to evacuate if I had to. It woke me up from my slumber. What's even funny is I thought yesterday while I was a trick's place in Venice. I really hate for a tsunami to happen here. There are so many people in one small area of land. I asked the guy who lived at 15 Paloma Ave if his building was retrofitted for an earthquake. He said yes, this would stand a major earthquake. I don't know but I'm terrified of brick buildings, especially in California.

I forgot about it, but I was at a neighbors place when it hit, and it felt like it was coming from underneath us. Instead of long waves, These were tight together, and she notices hear lights above her dining room table were not swaying as it normally would. The only thing I could conclude is that it happened nearby, but was small. So where was it centered? Is that your pad? Very nice.

Welcome to California my friend. I'll take a 3.4 over a winter in Maine any day. One visit to Fryeburg in January made that point clear to me.
