And yes - we are about 12 miles away from the epicenter as reported by USGS

Usually something in the 4s won’t feel like much unless you are close to the epicenter or the fault runs next to you.

I felt a hard shake last year in SoCal and was surprised to find it was a 5.1, but it was on a fault that runs near my house so it felt pretty big.

I’m good as long as we don’t have another Northridge or Sylmar quake. Those were both 6.7 quakes, and even though they were around 40 miles away they were scary as hell.
