  1. My couch felt like a vibrating bed.

  2. California’s terrain varies widely. There are active faults, mountain ranges, valleys, basins and beaches. When an earthquake occurs in California, the energy is scattered around and gets attenuated by the varying terrain, which means it just doesn’t make it very far out into the crust. In contrast, the East Coast has an older crust. When an earthquake happens, it reverberates like the waves produced by a ripple in water. The waves can travel for hundreds of miles, usually much farther in the East than in California.

  3.  @jfour2zero  I'm in Philly western suburbs. I was on the couch on 2nd floor of my house. At first I thought it was a construction crew or helicopter causing the vibration but it was too intense for that.
