Summary:

Look at the feeble felt area. And much thinner on the Polaris seismometers, but the same peak amplitude.  Rough guess about 10 times less energy than their so-called M4.2 on the weekend. It was still a normal earthquake, so a very low PGV.  I'm amazed that a 4.2 is up already, If we had a storm with these babies, LOOK OUT MOMMA! Update:  Already discounted to M3.9
