5.7 is a nothing earthquake.

Well, I'd bet to those of us who've never been experienced one lasting more than a few moments, it'd seem pretty significant.

Well I would not say it is a " nothing" quake. Having lived in So. California all of my almost 70 years,and on a earthquake forum with some knowledgeable people, I would say it all depends! I have been through all of the earthquakes from the 40's on...and given the right setting a 5.7 can do some significant damage. Of course compared with the Northridge, Sylmar, and Landers quakes....yes, that is quite a bit less intense.
