I was in the middle of the morning when I got an alert on my phone which they used to use for missing senior citizens, etc., but this time it was for an earthquake.

I'm thinking, "Oh really now? No [fecal material]?" and the shaking started and went on for about 30 seconds.

Turned out to be an 8 mile deep temblor near Julian, up in the mountains of Sandy Ego County.

Anyone else feel it? Any damage? (None for me, this time, thank heaven.)

This was kind of a zilch in some ways; only 5.2 relative little damage.

What made it noteworthy was that this was the first time they used that alert system. 
 

Not foolproof, but I can see it at least affirming that what you thought was an earthquake, was one.

It's actually been used a couple times in the recent past.  Further out in time if you include places beyond CA like Japan and British Columbia..

Bay Area, at least half a dozen times over the last couple for starts.. 

Sister and fam / rest of what family still lives there have the app on their phones.

Been a couple times we found out about a " CA vibration " via " Did you hear about... / there was a... today ... " texts / calls from my older Nieces.

I'm awaiting the 12.0+ that supposedly will usher in the rapture ..According to various " intriguing " points of view, 🤣
