Ok, so I don't have a picture for the whole earthquake incident. But this is where I was when it happened (though on a different part of the property), the shaved dog is just the symbol of the property... Anyways; I woke up yesterday morning at my boyfriends house (I had stayed the night) and I went out to get some food and then I came back in to wake him up. Around 11:15am I said "Let's go outside, it's really nice out!!" and so I started walking for the door and he was just all... "Buhh... I want to sleep some more!" I just laughed a little and went outside and sat down right outside his room, where he has grapes growing over his little porch right outside his room. I sat down and a few moment later he came out to sit with me. We were talking, and then it got quiet and he started playing with rocks, while I sat very still. Right around 11:40ish all of a sudden, the ground right below me began to move side to side; this only lasted a few seconds but the quake didn't seem to be over yet. It felt really cool though. I looked up because I heard the thing the grapes are growing on begin to shake and then sway. My boyfriend heard that, but did not feel the quake. I got dizzy, and then said "Do you think we just had an earthquake?" and he said "No, I don't think so. I didn't feel it. It's probably just you." He said this because I had recently had a pretty bad ear infection, so I had been getting dizzy a lot and being quite of out of it.

We got up and began to walk back inside, and passed his moms room an she yelled out at us from her window and asked if we felt that. I said that I had but he hadn't. She told me that the potted plants she had inside and the chandelier

were moving a lot and that it took her a few tries but the internet got up and she looked up where it was and confirmed it was about a 5.8 in the LA area. My cell phone, though it had full reception, hardly was able to make any calls, and any texts I would recieve I wouldn't get for about 10 minutes. 10 minutes turned into 20, which turned into an hour, which turned into 2 hours. All of my texts were completely delayed.

My friend who lives up in Carpenteria, texted me saying "Eaaaarthquuuuaaaaake!" She was really excited because she was on the second floor of her house when it happened and all of the mirrors began to look very distorted and she said it was fun. Apparently where I live, about half of the people in this town only felt it. The other half were completely clueless as to why some people sat on the floor, or clung to their desk, etc.
