yeah. And it was shallow. I grew up in Earthquake country, right on the San Andreas fault (500 yards from my house), with several cross faults nearby. The shallow ones are always felt more. I quit feeling them until they reached about a 4.3 and a 6.3 is a good size quake.

Also, to my knowledge, most of their buildings are not seismically retrofitted so that would be a concern.

This quake had a foreshock, and it’s conceivable that the 6.3 is a foreshock to another larger or similar quake.
