When the Nortridge Quake hit in 1994 (6.7 manitude), I was working in an office and one of our interns was from Wisconsin and had never felt an earthquake before. However, she managed to sleep right through it and came in to the office highly disappointed to have missed the quake. BTW, each full level on the Richter scale is 10 times the strength of the previous leve, e.g, a 3.0 is ten time stronger than a 2.0, etc. So you people back east may think you felt a big one, but the Northridge Quake was roughly 10 time bigger than today's quake.
Incidentaly, it was nice to see something finally moving Congress.l..
