Hardly newsworthy in the face of an 8.0 and a body count in excess of 4,000. Taste and timing are everything…

Richter magnitude measures the energy released by a seismic event. It doesn’t measure the acceleration at the surface. Surface accelerations, the frequency of the accelerations, and the length of the shaking are the factors that effect us. There are many 3+ Richter events every month in California.
