A 2.2 is barely a ripple, like someone getting out of bed! 😅😅😅

Just kidding my friend. I am so glad there was no damage. Being from California we get use to them... Unless they are back to back. 😨

I do now.

From your link: A 2.2 earthquake is not strong enough to be felt "except by a very few under especially favorable conditions," according to the Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
