Yahoo!At 6:24 this morning, an earthquake with an epicenter roughly three miles northwest of Montecito sent rumbles throughout the South Coast. Short-lived and surprisingly loud, the early morning shaker was believed by some to be a sonic boom. According to the U.S. Geological Survey Web site, the earthquake measured a mild 2.8 on the Richter scale.
There have been no reports of damage or injury.

thanks for confirming what happened. It was a rude awakening for some of us. And a sharp jolt.

We thought it was the cats, but the worthless fur balls were asleep. Didn't feel it, but heard some dishes rattle. We live near Elings park.
