I guess it turns out that even there are frequent earthquakes in the area, they are often too small to feel unless you are close to the epicenter. My friend said she’s only experienced 3 earthquakes in the 16 years she’s been in Cali. I was fortunate enough to experience my first earthquake, at a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale at 11:42:15 AM (PDT) on Tuesday, July 29, 2008. All that really happened is my office building shook for a second or two. My office is about 32 miles from the epicenter, so I’m sure I would have experienced the quake more if I was closer. To my knowledge, there was no real damage as a result of the quake.
