Stay safe wishes to everyone affected by the earth 🌍 quake.
There are no reports of casualties or serious damage. Which is pretty much what you'd expect for an earthquake of that very modest size.
It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage. - Cool Earthquake Facts
I'm reminded of the Great Michigan Earthquake of 2015. I was there. It was about this bad.

I remember the Northridge quake of 1994. 0/10 do not want to do again 😅
@CharlieBear I remember Northridge also, also Whittier Narrows. Those were probably the 2 biggest that I’ve felt. There was also the La Habra quake which was only 5.1 but I live in La Habra which is a tiny city and that was the worst. It shook every 5 minutes for days.
@CharlieBear @Morpheus I was in LA (Burbank and Canoga in Woodland Hills) for the Northridge quake. It was....interesting. Same with the Whittier quake. Also the San Fernando in '71 (though was in Oxnard at that time). But Northridge made me jaded to the stuff (similar to the reactions in LA Story).
