Wow, I had not heard that the area around Sunset and Highland got hit hard. That’s scary. Getting tossed off my bed was exactly what I thought was going to happen to me in Sherman Oaks in 1994. I held on tight while my bed went up and down and side to side. I sensed things flying through the air, including my 20 inch television.
On my block, nine buildings came down but miraculously, the apartment building I was in just had surface cracks while the building next door was just plain bizarre - the walls bent to about a 45 degree convex angle and the floors did the same thing, they bent upward and then down like indoor mini-mountains.
A three story building two doors down became a two story building but fortunately, the tenants in the squished apartment were away on vacation.
I’m not sure why I’m still rattled because as you know a 4.5 is really no big deal. Maybe it’s because I’m so close to the epicenter.
Lucky you to be in New England now and it’s really good that you stay prepared.
Was it quick or long? If it was quick and a 4.5 then it was pretty intense. The magnitude is based on energy so it is both intensity and length. The shorter the length, the more intense for the same magnitude.
I live near the last big one in San Luis Obispo county. It was something I hope not to experience anytime soon again...

Sorry for the double post... It froze up longer than usual...
