When it first happened the USGS site had it rated as a 6.0 and I immediately called bullshit. The house creaked a bit, but my wife who was on a conference call didn’t even notice it. I probably only caught it because of my phone’s advanced warning alert.
I think in parts of the world where we frequently experience quakes and our infrastructure is built to handle them we need another word for these little shakers, instead of calling them full on earthquakes. This is like calling a light drizzle a deluge.
