Does California care about earthquakes below a 5.7? >

under 4.0 = "was that an earthquake?"
over 4.0  = "that was definitely an earthquake."
over 5.0 = getting up off the couch in case it gets bigger
over 6.0 = getting into the door jamb out of bad 1980s instinct
but that's just me. can't fight that stupid 80s instinct to get in the fucking door jamb >

What about 7? >

When the Loma Prieta earthquake happened in the bay area in 1989, they initially said it was a 7.1, but years later it was downgraded to a 6.9. So I've technically never been in one over 7, but I imagine I'd do the same thing I was doing during that 6.9--squatting in the stupid door jamb like a moron. >

I lived in Travis airforce base when that happened and one of our neighbors unfortunately died during that. I was only 2 at the time, but I remember seeing all the pictures on the wall dancing and glass breaking >

that's so sad. did they die from the house collapsing or something else? >

Door jamb fell on them >

Definitely choose your door jambs carefully. >

In Pasadena. It woke me up at 2am. >

Most people slept through it. 
Nothin-burger. >

I did. I woke up this morning and was asked by my mother if I felt the earthquake. 
"What earthquake?"
I slept right through it. >

I saw this on trending as "Los Angeles Earthquake", thought something bad happened. A 4.2 is practically nothing. >

I felt it, wasn’t too bad >

Oklahoma had an earthquake today too. >

Why is this news, honest question usually Redditors have answers...how is this news? >

Apparently, the society we live in considers a model eating slightly too much food before hitting the red carpet news because it
shows bravery. You read that right, a celebrity eating too much before showing herself is considered news. A mild inconvenience in a relatively known area in the world is probably interesting to some people at least because of the low standards for news nowadays. >

I’m just happy this wasn’t titled EARTHQUAKE SLAMS CALIFORNIA 
If I see another slams title I’m gonna lose it >

Likewise. I wouldn’t mind seeing that title on a 6+ but a 4.2 just isn’t worth that title unless that mild earthquake causes a chain reaction.
