Pete-
I'm in Santa Barbara, California. I measure the period of the
pendulum with an optical interrupter. The quake pushes the pendulum a
little bit to make a momentary increase or decrease in the period.
The colored lines indicate atmospheric conditions. There's a legend
above the graph. The graph layout is described here:

The basic timing tool is described here:

I recorded a more dramatic effect from a much closer earthquake in 1999:
