Murphy the Mayor of San Onofre, said the quake lasted six to seven minutes and shook surfers and the nuclear plant.. "Nothing was broken. But it was pretty scary. It was a big one," Murphy said. Ranger Hal Dairywimple said the quake had a rolling sensation that startled some out-of-town guests. "I walked outside and we did have some guests outside, talking about the quake and in full panic," he said. "They said, 'I didn't know you had those here!'" The quake was felt as far west as Hawaii and as far south as Cabo, 1000 miles southwest of San Onofre.
