I didn't feel anything, but a guy here in the shop did. He said his dogs started barking also.

A 5.2 or 5.4 is barely enough to get your attention in socal.
Put it in the midwest, and there's panic in the streets, road closures, and bridge collapses.
I remember after the northridge quake here in socal, sitting at the kitchen table drinking my morning coffee, and watching the water in the pool jump 8 feet in the air. That was cool.

Just read an article where the last 5+ earthquake in the midwest was around 1968 and before that it was 1890 something. So yeah, it's a big deal here. I bet California doesn't get tornadoes, do they? Those aren't a huge deal here, but you guys would freak out. That's how it works.

Anyway, I got home from work at 3:30am (we had something big going on last night) and I woke up around 4:30 with my house shaking like a ****. Stuff was rattling like crazy and it was freaky.
