It wasn’t in LA, it was about 30 miles off the coast.

Definitely felt it, but nothing fell/broke/cracked from my vantage...it depends on where the epicenter is.

The epicenter was about 45 or so miles off the coast, southwest of the channel Islands.

No where near LA.

“What level of damage is a 5?”

A 5 would only be half as bad as a 10.

seriously, here’s a link that might give you some guidance...

It was so strong, it woke up 3 bums sleeping on the sidewalk.

Not big enough for the state to fall off into the ocean. Bet most people didn’t even feel it.

Careful there - a 6 would be 10 (ten) times more powerful as a 5.

The Richter scale is logarithmic, which is exponential.

A 5.0 here would have people hurling their children into volcanoes to appease the gods.

Most native Angelinos would barely notice a 5.

Actually, I think it’s a logarithmic scale so a 5 is no where near half of a 10. If I remember right, a 6 is 10 times more powerful than a 5, and a 7 is 10 times more powerful than a 6...
