And no wonder I didn't feel it. It's way inland and SE from me!

It's more than a few miles from here.

Thanks!

When the Ikea bookcase against the wall between the bedrooms swayed a bit.
A few books went askew in another bookshelf, but other than that, we didn't notice a thing in the front room.
San Diego East-Central near the 'hood...
Strange how the S-wave motion moves through the different bedrock topography; even though we are identified as being on coastal fill, below that is a thick layer of compressed decomposed granite, which knocks down the felt magnitude significantly. And the Elsinore Fault zone (which Anza area is part of) tends to slip NW/SE, from what I remember from my Geology 101 class a couple years ago.
Be dafe. House Spouse just thinks they had another big aftershock.

I've lived in Southern California all my life. This is the first time I actually left the building. My house was really bouncing around.
