4. I thought I felt that!!
31 floors up in Century City--our building is on "rollers," so it sways a bit when we have a temblor. first one I've felt in a VERY long time.

I meant to click over to USGS to check, but was so busy I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Maybe the "big" one is coming.. Or maybe I'm a crazy midwesterner who has never been in an earthquake and would therefore think everyone was Armageddon. your call. :P
