It's notable for people in California where a lot of HN users are based.

The point is it is not notable. It is business as usual. These happen multiple times a year. It is nearly as notable as a rainy day in LA in the summer.

Do you mean Lousiana because rains come in the winter here in socal. lol. A summer rain would be notable.

I must have been confused by all of the people in this thread publicly noting it and explaining how they perceived it.

		we are talking about relative notability. Seeing an apple or orange for the first time is notable to that person. But not to the others living in an orchard. This quake is a tad more notable than rain in LA in the summer. In other words, not very notable. That doesn't make it zero, just very low.

Shaking like this does not happen multiple times per year, at least in the Bay Area. Last night’s was the strongest quake I’ve experienced since moving here.

No it isn't, I grew up in NorCal with earthquakes, a 4.6 is a complete nothing burger, you shrug and continue about your day.
