Better buy Earthquake insurance quick before you can't afford it!

If there has to be a ‘quake, this is enough for me👍
M4.8 is not very large, just unusual for the area near where it occurred. M4.8 occur every few days in California. I only worry about the ones greater than M6. The largest expected in CA would be around M8.4. South-East Asia and Chile get ones with magnitudes greater than 9. Those are truly scary and potentially deadly.

if I remember correctly, had about one hundred times the energy and shook things up good and proper, even though I was about forty miles from the epicenter.
The last one I experienced was more comparable to the one under discussion, at Richter 5.1. I was in bed at the time. It shook me hard enough to wake me up at 8 am. I knew immediately that it was an earthquake and I could tell that it was a fairly strong one but it was also pretty far away, so I didn't bother to get out of bed just then. (One gets blasé about earthquakes after living a while in the San Francisco Bay Area for a while.) Turned out to be about thirty miles away in Smyrna, North Carolina. I saw news pictures of a lot of canned goods in the aisles of one of the stores. A façade of one of the local buildings fell off or something of the sort; I don't remember exactly, but I don't remember hearing of any deaths or serious injuries from that one.
