The Whittier quake back in 1987 was only a 5.9 but it caused significant damage.

A few weeks ago my Shake Alert app alarm went off BEFORE I felt the tremor

Same for me. This time the shaking already started before I got the alert.

I'm not that far from there. A little wobbling then a strong, short boom-shake
