Whoops! One just rolled through at 12:08 AM, felt here in Carson, just west of Long Beach, California. A kind of apologetic booomps! feeling. Anyone else?

Yes, this one was tiny. How about the possibility that it would be the final shake to set up the big one?

[pfffffffft](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/ci14996748.php).

3.4 Magnitude. I thought you left coasters don’t get worked up until a quake is in the mid 5’s Magnitude.

3.4 would be noteworthy along New Madrid fault where I live.

No idea there was one. Nothing on the news either. I think I slept right through it.

When I lived in NY a 2.5 in Queens was front page news. I now live in Palmdale, CA and did not feel anything.
