Any FReepers in CA feel it?

Those earthquakes can be mighty unsettling.

We had a 4+ magnitude earthquake in CT/NJ/NY about a year ago.

We are still talking about it.

Earthquakes that size are fun

Global warming I’ll bet.
See, they’ve been right all along.
Probably Trump did something too.

Felt it in Glendale. It was very slight here, maybe a 3.0-
3.5. Lasted three seconds.

Down around that level, it’s even hard to feel for me.

By the way...

It was 13:01 here when it hit.

“Any FReepers in CA feel it?”

Wife said people from our city felt it (some social media posts) I was upstairs when it happened and it rattles around more so than downstairs when quakes do go off. I felt nothing, then again I’m 72 miles away as the bird fly’s.

[married21]

No. Felt nothing in Torrance. We had a local earthquake a few days ago. Wonder if more activity in So Cal is on its way?

[Fiji Hill]

I didn’t feel ut. Barstow is exactly 100 miles from my home.
