I know a lot of you live in california where earthquakes are fairly normal, but this was strange to me! Now I'm sitting here wonderinf if we'll feel more in the next few hours or not.

How strong is a 3.7 anyway? Is that small?

You may get aftershocks but they are rarely stronger than the initial quake.
Everytime your house creaks for the next few days you will freak out.

3.7 is a baby quake, every tenth of a point is 1000 times stonger.

The last big quake was in 94 (knock on wood) and it was a 6.8....

Relax and enjoy life.....
