California earthquake

There was a pretty strong earthquake in California today. There was some moderate damage in a town that was fairly close to the epicentre and at least three people were killed.

I didn't notice the quake until it was reported on the news as I am about 200 km from the epicentre. However, looking at the shake map for the event, at least some people in my area felt it.

The USGS Earthquake Hazards site contains lots of information on earthquakes in California.
