Here at the ranch, on the fifth floor of A1, it was a long strong shaking and rolling motion. I’m an LA native, and I went under the desk (but I know how this building was built). They evacuated the building with relative smoothness (those drills did pay off), and we just got cleared to come back in.
According to my wife, in Northridge, there was also shaking. She said some cracks reopened (time to get out the spackle), and we might need to get the flashing redone around the chimney to ensure things are watertight. I’ll do a more thorough inspection when I get home, but I don’t expect anything major there.
