To feel a 3, one must be either standing still on flat feet, or be seated. The seat is most sensitive and underrated as a navigation device.

This one had our name on it.

Nerve racking, nonetheless.

And at a 3.2, enough to spill a beer.

Hang tough! Hopefully it's not a prelude to something bigger.

The magnitude drops with distance. Roughly 2 mags per 100 miles. So a 3.5 downtown LA would be felt as about a 2 in Orange Co, and that is generally too small to be felt. A 7.5 would be felt as a 5-6, and there would be no doubt.

Thanks to Kalifornia's retrofitted buildings and roads, that quake in the Central part of the state lost 2 lives (sadly), not the 10's of thousands that usually succomb when a large (and 6.5 is a pretty big one) earthquake shakes buildings made of mud and sand.

Ya, but Joe lives just outside the blue zone on the map himself I think. Granted, I live father outside it.

A 7.5 would be felt as a 5-6, and there would be no doubt.

I remember being approx. 120 miles west of the Lander's quake (7.0) in '91 (or was it '92?)...felt like a 6.0...maybe a 6.1 with the two Newfoundland dogs scared out of their wits jumping on the bed when it happened...

I'd be cautious about drawing conclusions based on staring at real-time earthquake maps a lot....

The reality is there's ALWAYS more activity than people realize, but when people that don't normally spend a lot of time looking at the maps suddenly start doing so, it SEEMS like there's a lot of activity, when it's actually more or less normal.

And the human mind is trained to see patterns, even when none exists, so any lines or directions or anything that SEEM apparent don't necessarily have any real meaning.

And a 6.5 such as the San Simeon one is ALWAYS going to generate a lot of aftershocks, possibly lasting for months.
