A well known and respected member who always seems to notice even the smallest earthquakes didn't chip in till now. Once asked him if he was by any chance living in the penthouse of a shoddily constructed high rise, but he didn't reply.

I have nether the credentials or experience and am glad I haven't been appointed to decide what is news or a message and what is not.

You are correct in that it is a small quake, but if you are

in the proximity of a 3.8 then you are also in the arena for

worse.

Humm----This could be the start of something big.

I came down to find the tempered glass door to my oven shattered and on the floor, after feeling the quake. Pretty sure ghosts didn't do it.

Nah ! Just another tourist shakedown.

In itself a minor quake, but where there is smoke, there can be fire. Just ask any person from Christchurch NZ

Or Los Angeles California. Sinners repent!
