I saw the 6.0 in Japan too briefly when I woke up and the first thing I did was check earthquakes...now it's gone.

There is no record of a quake happening in L.A. tonight.

still rumbling....

I KNOW!!!!! I was shocked when I woke up but not shocked enough so I went back to sleep.

I saw the 6.0 in Japan too but it appears they have removed it.

And now, it appears, everyone has gone to sleep.

Boo!
