A mag 4 quake is just at the point when it is maybe noticeable, with or without damage.
We have had at least 7 of them in the Philippines so far this month, and several within 100 miles of me.
The mag 8 quake that hit Bohol recently did considerable damage on Bohol, and some damage here on Cebu, mostly in Cebu city.
We have a very good web site for quakes: http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/
The house seen in the opening page is quite interesting. Read the caption.
The second link gives us up to the min. quake notices:

7.3 is a big quake
Sorry. Gas. Greek food.
That actually varies a lot depending on ones' distance to the epicenter, the depth of the quake, the local geology, the structure one is in, and so on. A recent 2.6 near LaCenter, KY, was surprisingly "noisy", and was felt by quite a few people who were right on top of it.

yes I sure felt it.. I’m halfway between Columbia and Augusta
I poked around Phivolcs for a bit - very interesting, including the two “smoldering” (?) volcanoes, Taal and Mayon.
“That actually varies a lot depending on ones’ distance to the epicenter, the depth of the quake”

Yes, if your on the epicenter, you can feel most any tremor.
I am referring to quakes that are 50-100 miles away.
If I am sitting perfectly still in my chair, I might feel a
very slight 2 second vibration from a mag 4 quake on Bohol, which is about 50 km from me. I can see Bohol from my beach.
Judging by the chart, they seem to consider anything over a 4 to be significant, as they highlight the magnitude in a darker black.
By the way, one can register for the USGS Earthquake Notification System. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/
They will email you when there is a significant quake anywhere in the world. I have been a member for about five years.
First Climate Change, now Tectonic Plate Change.
I am in Greenville also. We certainly felt it here!
We are in Summerville and didn’t notice anything.
I felt it here in NE Columbia.
Near Barnwell?
Lindsay Graham read his latest poll numbers?
Fracking? Globull Warming? Obama, Mmm Mmm Mmmm?
It’s the ice I tell ya. It weighs a lot more than when it just rains. /s
No word from my son who lives in Ladson - he normally posts anything like this to facebook in a few minutes.
HAARP - Nice time to test it. Friday evening.
HAARP Wheel event....story from late 2013:
http://planet.infowars.com/preparedness/haarp-wheel-event-columbia-south-carolina-101213
Felt nothing here in Savannah.
I slept through one near this same location back in 71 or 72. It happens.
There are several fault lines that run through the Georgia/South Carolina midlands.
There use to be a big mud volcano near Winder, Ga. It dried up shortly after the big New Madrid quake. Some speculate that they were related. I am skeptical.
