Pretty big (http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jul/07/strong-earthquake-hits-san-diego-county/), but only 5.4 on the Richter.  I sure felt it though

you have a different fault-zone up there. If anyone needs to be nervous it's those living in and around the San Jacinto FZ. Since Easter I have felt several earthquakes, aftershocks and tremors. I'm something like 100 miles or so away from the FZ. But yes I have been wondering lately if a biggy is around the corner. If a big one hits I think my house will withstand it because we aren't in the FZ but do live on the outskirts, yet it still has the potential cause a bit of damage. That might be optimistic feelings on my part. I'm sure something is brewing and those plates are shifting big time. Yesterday when it hit I felt the house sway back and forth. Easter, when that one hit, I was in the back yard and that one (7.9) went on for several seconds, felt like it anyway.
