TESTIMONIES (sample)

Witness location : Big Pine (United States) (12 km SE from epicenter)
It only lasted about 10 seconds but it rolled and rumbled in felt like it was right under my house. During the 10 seconds it felt like a big vibration under the house. Nothing broken, went by quick but no doubt it was a quake.

Witness location : Shaver Lake (United States) (82 km W from epicenter)
I was upstairs. I heard a boom and then several seconds of rattling of the cabin. I looked to see if the cedar trees were shaking but they were not.

Witness location : Squaw Valley (United States) (92 km SW from epicenter)
My dogs started barking first, then I felt a jolt like someone bumped into my chair. I wasn't sure it was an earthquake until I saw the pull on the ceiling fan swinging and the fan wasn't on.
