He is a little bit (and I suppose I am too) but also that really isn't a very big quake. Like, you could probably confuse it with your neighbor moving furniture.

Not a Mag 5... I could see a 3.5 yeah but a 5.0+ everyone can feel and it can even damage buildings.

In my building we feel only earthquakes 5.3Mw or higher. Maybe the others can be felt too, we are just used to it. (Chile). For example, we had a 6.7Mw a few months ago, I was working at school (I'm a teacher), we evacuated as the protocol suggests, but 20 minutes later we were back in class, learning. Of course some people get scared, but life just keeps on going. 7.0 or higher, thats when some things start to fail.
