Heh, just looked up the SC quakes.  3.2???  C'mon!  Some vindaloo expulsions can register more than that. 
 
Here's a few "REAL" quakes I was WAY too close to!
 
Sylmar - 1971 - 6.6 (visiting an Aunt - felt like a bizarre roller-coaster)

Superstition Hills - 1987 - 6.6 (Staying with a friend after playing in a dart event the prior weekend - had a plaque come off the wall and graze my head before scoring a direct hit on my shoulder)

Landers - 1992 - 7.3 (On vacation near Big Bear - kind of smooth and the entire metal rail along the lodge units went BRANNNNNNNNGGGG!!! and woke everyone up)

Big Bear - 1992 - 6.5 (Same day as Landers so still there - this was, by far, the scariest for me - I was just starting to doze off back to sleep when this one hit with a big thud then kept getting worse and worse. Even my room back in Orange County was trashed when I got home! Everything on two opposing sides of the room had been tossed into the middle of the floor...)

Northridge - 1994 - 6.7 (I was staying at my friend's place on Sepulveda near that famous Galleria for the weekend and was up early so I could drive home when this stupid woven art piece "jumped" off the wall, we stared at it for half-a-second wondering "what the...", then all hell broke loose - I ended up surfing the couch while my friend peed himself in a doorway - half the bulbs in his chandelier broke by swinging into the ceiling - I had to take a very long way home to OC!)




Moral of the story - never ever invite craigb to stay in your home.




They're supposed to invite me first?  Hmm...  Never knew that!
