Do you know the way to ...

Ok, we just had a pretty hefty earthquake about an hour ago (11:15 Pacific time).
Preliminary rating is a 6.5, centered near San Simeon (Hearst Castle).
I'm up in San Jose, about 200 miles away, and we felt it pretty good. Reports are they felt it in LA, too. It was strong enough for us to evacuate the building (I'm on the 3rd floor).
Any of our central California regulars able to report? Is everyone ok?

We felt it here in Irvine. I'm on the 4th floor and we were rockin' and rollin' for quite a long time. No damage around here. I haven't heard any damage reports from the epicenter yet. For those not familiar with earthquakes, a 6.5 is a biggie! (i'm a native, they don't bother me much.)

Thanks, KK. I feel better, although I haven't been able to reach my sister yet.
I got her...she and her 2 boys just got home from a walk. They really didn't feel it much, but she had heard it was "a doozie" (put a Texas girl in California, hear her talk, and she entertains the masses).

We felt it here in the Central Valley of CA. It was quite a roll. I got concerned for my son who is going to school in Fremont. But everything is OK there.

Here's the story on MSN: http://msnbc.msn.com/Default.aspx?id=3784234&p1=03 people were killed and buildings in Paso Robles were toppled. Down here in So Cal it was more of a rolling motion. At first I thought it was a large truck rumbling by the building, but when I saw the blinds sway, I knew it was an EQ.

Just barely felt it in LA. I have the flu, and thought the room was swaying for other reasons-at first.

Thanks for the concerns, but I'm at the south end of the San Francisco Bay, at least 75 miles away. My wife felt it in San Jose, but I did not here in beautiful downtown Fremont.
