Perhaps the USGS website or another source indicates whether the number is normal or high. Great info, teems, thanks!

You really have to be sitting quietly to fell the little ones near you. I take these as little hints to check my earthquake kit and add one extra thing; this week I got an extra bottle of bleach.

But if your place sits over more stable soil (most of the Marina being built on alluvial deposits from Ballona Creek and the LA River whenever it decided to run west instead of south), you might not have felt the quake nearly as strongly. That would also explain why certain sections of LA felt the quake more strongly: Anything built on an old creek-bed would probably feel things more strongly than something on bedrock.

Just a good reminder that the next jiggle may be bigger - check your EQ kits and make sure everything is fresh current and ready to grab if needed. Missed it entirely.
