We just had a small shaking quake and i estimated it at 4.3.  The USGS initially rated it a 4.4, but now they've updated the magnitude to 4.3.  Damn, i'm good.

I was in a 4.3 once-- on the 9th floor of a concrete dorm at UW, and it felt like someone had grabbed the back of my chair and was shaking it just to annoy me. At perhaps a 4.0, it would've been enough to say "knock that off!" but at 4.3, I had said "knock it off, asshole!" before I turned around to find that nobody was shaking my chair.

Still, well spotted. So to what seismic lab do the local news crews go in order to get an authoritative scientific measurement of the quake?

P.S. My entire city will one day be destroyed by Earthquake, you insensitive clod!
