0.5!!! 0.5!!!! You can't even feel a 0.5!!!  A 0.5 happens when you forget your clutch slave is off, start your FJ, the clutch push rod spears the cat and as the rod imbeds into the far wall the thump it makes is registers as a 0.5...

Maybe I am taking this a little too far, where I live a 3.0 might make the news, and a 4.0 might be noticed. I hope the natives did not sacrifice anything important to prevent a 1.0...

Glad no FJs were hurt....

Haha , sorry to get your hopes up mate ,, guess you guys are used to big quakes ,, tremors only happen every 15/20 years down here on the small island ,, the girls of the house were getting ready to go out , think they left stains in the carpet  ,, I was laying in bed with my little bloke watching a dvd, he didn't even ask what the noise/shaking was , guess he figured it was just a large truck on the very close highway    , no cats were harmed   dam it ,, and all Fj,s still standing, although effie had spun around on the steel plates under the c stand   ,,,  , must be my longest post ever, do I get a medal , or a chest to pin it on

Have no idea what is normal in California but experienced a 6.5 in Mexico City on December 10/2011.  Quite an experience. Felt like I was surfing.

No one does, they are weirdo's out that way.  I just spent the week in San Francisco and can confirm this.

I was living in Southern California in 1994 when the 6.7 Northridge quake hit. The damage was unbelievable.

remember seeing that quake on the news,  , makes me wonder why ppl build on fault lines

I was living in Southern California in 1994 when the 6.7 Northridge quake hit. The damage was unbelievable.

The Northridge quake exposed a second and until then unknown fault line. It ran under Santa Clarita where I was busy trying to sleep off a long night of driving back from Northern Arizona where I spent a very relaxing week in a cabin. The fault under me was a thrust fault, meaning the motion was up and down. It felt like the entire building (world) was picked up 3 feet (1M) and slammed back down every second. Very violent and end of the world feeling. The building held together and the suit case filled with booze was unharmed, our neighbors were happy to partake and make sure none was left for the aftershocks to damage. Turns out it was good that I was also handy with repairing gas lines and got the entire building hot water a week or two faster than expected. What a shaker...

That Melbourne quake was 12 hours before todays little effort , , , at least your booze was safe monkey man,
