So are my whippets.  

Maybe not so. Animals don't like quakes and get pretty jittery afterward. Quake downgraded to 5.4

I was about 50 feet from my bike and was talking to one of my customer.... suddenly I felt I got pushed from ground up and down....And we both ran outdoor and the building was shaking left and right.   I saw my bike was tipping left and right 6 times.... i thought it's going fell.... ....... And I was thinking to run to save it (hold it) but it was parked covered parking and that freaking roof was waving.... so I think my life is more important I just saw it tipping left and right and my heart almost stop beating...

Lucky it stopped about 30 secs...

Considering plate motions and distances from the fault, Bakersfield is probably getting farther from the ocean.

Give it another few million years, and the Golfo de California will be knocking on your door.

5.4 is nothing.  It only shook for about 20 seconds.  I actually didn't even get up form my desk and just finished my email while it was shaking.  I'm in Glendale, so I wasn't THAT close, but it's funny how many people call you after one happens.
