That felt like a big one! Well, relatively. Bigger than the last few we've had.

For sure, I’d say that’s easily the biggest one I’ve felt in the past year. Scared the crap out of our poor cat.

Are any aftershocks expected?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

According to the USGS map there have already been 2, but I didn’t feel either. From what I understand aftershocks are normal but not really predictable, and any given quake has a 6% chance of being a foreshock that comes before a larger quake.

I didn't even notice this one! (Arcadia)

Was busy trying to make myself a late lunch, but apparently my family around the world heard about the earthquake and texted me within 15 minutes.
