It was around 11:40 AM and I was stepping out of my office and driving for lunch. As I approached the signal I noticed the whole pole that had signal lights was shaking and swaying quite vigorously. Then I realized my car waiting in the signal started to sway left to right and back. Having lived in Southern California for over 6 years now, I immediately realized it's the earthquake that's shaking the whole place up. On previous occasions there was very little or nothing to react since the quake shake was either too short or too mild. But this time around it was well over 15-20 seconds and it was pretty heavily felt. Meanwhile the lights turned green and I started driving but could still feel the shake. For the whole time, I had no clue what I should be doing. It was one of the weird experience I have ever had and fortunately there is no major damage reported yet.
