I was sitting at my computer in Orange, Ca when the quake hit, and once the
wiggling stopped hit the shutdown button and bypassed my Norton check so it
would happen NOW. Family was all fine, but my son wanted company to the
bathroom, so I waited with him, then dashed for the garage and my 9 foot
collection of shelving. NOTHING even tipped over on any shelf, sturdy as
ever, and not a earthquake fastener on anything (yet, it did put some fear
in me about finding my car buried in old computers).

BTW this was a "rolling" quake, so some hanging lamps where doing some
serious swings.
