San Diego area. I recall three distinct earthquakes during the year I lived there. I was in my 4th floor apartment when a 4-point-something quake hit, causing much more freedom of movement within the building than I liked.i got reassurance from those who had lived there much longer, saying that it’s better to have lots of small quakes than one giant fault-sliding catastrophe.
