Yep, I'm in California and I also felt that earthquake

Answer 15

I was in my summer school class, and it shook the whole room. It definitely felt stronger than 5.8 and longer than 20 seconds. My classroom is a portable building, the foundation isn't that strong, so we were shaken up pretty badly.
