Last one I felt on the east cost was in early '73.

I know our west coast members are laughing their *a&&*s off.

Yup. I was smile 5.8? I sleep through those. OK, really, it's a decent size.

I feel bad for my wife. She's from Wisconsin, I'm a Cali boy. She's never felt one. We live in VA, maybe 80 miles from the epicenter. Of course, she's out of the country right now.

Oh, public service announcement: Don't go running into the streets people. That's just going to get you hit by cars. From experience, I can tell you a 6.2 isn't always felt when you're driving. I bet almost everyone in a car yesterday didn't know it was happening, and if you run in front of them, they're not expecting it.
