Shit, I remember that one. The only earthquake I've ever experienced and I was only awake at the time because Deus Ex had just released.

Lava lake from Halemaumau Crater eruption now covers 33 acres, scientists say
In the early hours of Monday morning, fountains of lava shot 165 feet into the air and fed a lava lake at the basin of the crater.

I guess us east coasters are just more sensitive to that shit, I felt that fucker all the way in Jersey. I remember because I was working nights and that fucker woke me up because my window blinds were banging into the sides of the windows. I also remember reading an article that some of the earthquakes here have different fault line action or something causing them to be felt further out but not causing as much damage.

3.5 is the threshold for feeling them in my opinion. Granted, that's if you're within probably 10 miles.
I suspect you've never actually felt a 4.0 - 5.0 earthquake, because there's definitely no mistaking it for quite a distance away.

If that is what she is telling you, she is lying to make you feel better.

I was in a 5 once that was centered maybe 25 miles away. There was no question the ground was shaking, but it's not like water was sloshing out of my glass or anything. Certainly wasn't knocking anything off of a shelf. In the 10 years I was in California I was very disappointed with the frequency and severity of earthquakes. From the way people in California talk I was thinking shit would be shaking all the time. In 10 years I only felt 3 earthquakes and that 5 was the only one that was more than "Did you feel that? Was that an earthquake? I'm not sure.".

There was an additional wave that came in overnight and the leading edge was deep red on radar. Ended up with 3" of rain yesterday but because moisture is still in the area we're getting flurries right now. Good enough, Merry Christmas all

I think I just got tornadoed out here in AZ. It just ripped my tree apart and my neighbors roof two doors down is gone. A few others have their roof tiles missing or uplifted like someone scratched it up but the one neighbor got fucked. It's fucking cold and I have snow patches in my yard in god damn phoenix arizona. The wind was deafening. It was louder then a jet engine. Now it's all sunny out like nothing happened.
