OK doen't get to many do they. Must really be a surprise when they do happen. Hope no one had any damage.

Here's CA map of 'quakes....I'm on the nothernmost coast. Not much happening this week.

Shappa, I don't think we even notice 2.8s out here, do we?

Well, the type of strata makes a difference...but generally 2.5+/- doesn't even make the 6'oclock news.

If you are not used to them they can be the most frightening of mother natures events.

Didn't feel a thing, actually didn't know about it until just now.
I remember a small one, about a 4.0 that the epicenter was pretty close to Yucaipa SoCal in the late '70s when I lived there. It was around midnight and woke me up. I asked the wife if that was an earthquake and she told me it was. I chuckled and went back to sleep. Probably helped that I was still feeling the effects of the Aculpulco (sp) Gold that had been burning a few hours earlier.
I hate earthquakes, can't run from them or hide like you can whirly winds or Devils Tail's as the Old Ones used to call 'em.
