well a 4.5 is large enough to bring on the after shocks but its really not that big at all. Nothing we would feel around here.

Everyday there are a bunch of smaller quakes and we dont feel them. It not until they are at least a 3 that would notice if we were not doing anything and that would have to be in our own town.

For a quake to be felt at this distance away it would need to be at least a 5 somthing or higher. No worries Jackie, you didn't miss anything.

That's funny because I was at work and my monitor started wiggling like someone was stomping around but I didn't feel anything and no one was nearby so I thought about an earthquake for a second and then forgot about it.
