4.1 magnitude, just north of Yorba Linda (bout 6 miles away).

It was strong but real short so I figured it was close ..........

How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?


It's a trick question.


Californians don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in hot tubs

They are very popular these days. Christchurch keeps getting big ones (4.8 and shallow) and Italy has recently got in on the game too.

I'm pleased no damage was done.

I think lots of little ones is a good thing so the pressure doesn't build up for a few thousand years then go bang.
