It totally depends on where you are, and distance isn't necessarily the biggest factor - depends on the geology.
I was in marina del rey - 4th floor doctor's office and my ortho was filling a syringe to give me a shot when it happened. I'm amazed it was only 5.8 as it was a *long* roller - easily 30-45 seconds.
I've been through a bunch of quakes here. The scariest being an aftershock of the Whittier Narrows quake in '89 that hit at about 3am (I was living in Pasadena), and then the '94. That one felt like it picked up the house and dropped it back down (again, in Pasadena).
