Actually, it's that Magnaflow muffler on the 215...

Seriously, I slept right through it. I didn't even know about it until I got to the gym this morning. A whopping 3.6. Geeze, when I lived in SoCal, anything under magnitude 5 didn't even make the news.

I am in Fairfax County, VA. I remember looking at the clock a 5:06 and rolling over to go back to sleep. The official time of the quake was 5:04, maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not ???

If the quake did not spill any beer, it is considered minor.

Well, today's Washington Post noted that while Friday's 3.6 quake in Maryland got national attention, there was a magnitude 3.8 quake in northern Calif. on Friday that didn't even make the news. Ironically, if you go to the LA Times website, there is a story about the Maryland quake, but not about the one in Calif.

Like I said, anything under 5.0 doesn't even make the news...
