Tremor "Boxer?"
Yeah, a 4.+ earthquake is not a big deal, unless it's a foreshock to an 8.0!
Nothing here.
I had a "foreshock" experience the other day. I was in the middle of my backswing when someone else yelled FORE! The shock caused me to shank the ball to the right!! Grrrr. I hate foreshocks! : )

The probability of that approaches zero.
Felt it pretty good here in North OC. Rolling though, no jolts thank goodness.
God is kicking California in the keister.
I'd ask the local wildlife. It seems they have a better understanding of these things than us humans do.
Earthquakes, to me, feel different in various parts of the world.
In California earthquakes bounce you up and down. In Japan earthquakes bounce you side to side. And in California earthquakes always hit while I was in bed. In Japan, earthquakes hit while I was standing.
Strange.
Burbank, here been awake since 5am, felt nothing, YET.
Woke me up in Claremont.
I know, that is.very strange.
No liquifaction here on the sands of the Central Coast yet. Uhhhh.......bloop.
Well, it's the approaching Big One I'm worried about!

LOS ANGELES -- A swarm of small earthquakes rattled a portion of southwestern San Bernardino County Thursday, a seismologist reported.
It began with a magnitude-3.6 temblor at 4:11 a.m. one mile north of Fontana followed by a 3.3 shaker at the same location at 6:22 a.m. and a 4.4 earthquake two miles north of the city at 6:35 a.m., said Caltech seismologist Joe Franck.

BTW: I was at home in Ontario when all of the above hit. I didn't feel a thing and Ontario is the city immidiately East of Fontanna. My Aunt felt them 20 miles North in Hesperia though.
Ok.. How did it wake you up in Claremont when I didn't feel a thing in Ontario? You must be a very light sleeper.
I've read most quakes, at least in CA, hit between 6pm & 6am. I've been through various ones in CA, though. Rolling quakes, jerking quakes, bouncing quakes...
Nah, it was just the Trojans lookin' for some more Sooner butt to kick.
