ShakeMap comparison

Here's the two shake-maps side by side for the Easter Sunday quake, and last night's quake:

 


Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make the USGS site use the same zoom resolution on both maps. It's automated based on where the reports came in from.

You can see that since the epicenter of last night's quake was about 25-30 miles northwest of the Easter Sunday quake, the shake intensities in various San Diego County zip codes were about the same... however, areas to the East didn't get nearly as jolted last night as they did in April.

The above maps are based on what people reported online, after answering a standard series of questions, like did furniture/pictures move, was it hard to walk, was there property damage, what floor were you on, etc. I make it a point to log in as soon as possible after feeling a quake to add my report to the system.
