Why? A magnitude 3.2 is so miniscule as to be barely noticeable (generally speaking). Using the USGS descriptor names for different categories of quakes, a 3.2 is referred to as a "minor" earthquake. Unless I get to experience a 6 or above every year, I figure I'm owed an additional tax refund by the state!

I lived in California for my first 21 years and can't remember an earthquake of any real size (I was a baby during a big LA quake, had to be 69-70).

The little ones never bothered me, added a little interest to life, but I NEVER want to be in a big quake. NEVER. There is a fault line out here somewhere, so moving may not have done me any good.
