For the next earthquake, look into anti-nausea medicine if you live/work in a high rise. The Ridgecrest quake shook the top floors of downtown L.A. skyscrapers back and forth by more than a foot.
If you were sitting in the lobby of one particular downtown Los Angeles skyscraper when energy from the magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake arrived, you might have felt a few seconds of light shaking.
The 50th floor of a downtown L.A. skyscraper shook way more than the second floor, according to this seismogram showing the shaking of the building in its east-west direction during the magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake on July 5, which ruptured a fault 125 miles north of Los Angeles. U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Rob Graves said he felt something similar in Pasadena, about 100 miles from the epicenter — one wave of shaking comes through, then dies down, only to be followed by another.
The city of Ridgecrest, on softer sediments that have eroded off of mountains, probably felt about 35 seconds to 45 seconds of strong shaking, Hough said; there was also a longer period of sloshing that continued for some time as shaking waves reverberated across the Indian Wells Valley, along with shaking from aftershocks.U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Ken Hudnut said he felt a rapid back and forth in Ridgecrest.
