2. I'm impressed, you beat USGS and were only 1 magnitude off

their first report which is 4-ish.

Maybe it was shallow.

4. High 4's would work. I've been in lots of earthquakes.

Nothing bigger than 6.7 though. This one was just a rumbler, little or no damage. You can't be sure based on feel, because you can't know how far you are from the epicenter, and other things too.

5. Reported as a 4.4, but felt more like a 5 to me.

9. That felt waaaaaaay bigger than a 4.4!

Born and raised in LA but this one felt like it was right under my house. (Alhambra)
