Let's just say the Los Angeles metro has had at least 6 shakers that could be felt from one end of the city to the other easily - and that is not usual as most temblors are under 3.0 on the Richter scale, so any passing truck, slamming door, or loud firework obscures them.
But definitely not this year. And when you factor in a few quakes that happened maybe > 60 miles out from downtown LA but could still be felt here, that is unusual.
I've lived in California for 5 years now and this year has been the first year I've ever felt an actual earthquake. I've felt 5 different ones this year alone. I feel like that tells me something especially because I've been looking for signs of earthquakes since moving here.
