I am currently in Encino, and it felt like a rolling earthquake up here on the 4th floor on an office building near Ventura and Woodley. Not intense, more of a gentle shaking and wave-like motion. Time duration of the quake: several seconds that felt like 45 seconds, but was probably more like 15. --News flash reported by Don Rose.

from CNN.com:
A magnitude-5.8 earthquake has struck just east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A 5.8 quake is considered by the USGS to be "moderate," which can cause slight damage to buildings and other structures. full story
