We felt it too in Dana Point. According to USGS, that quake was one of three in the same area (La Habra) today:
1st - 3.1
2nd - 5.1
3rd - 3.4
We experienced numerous earthquakes while camping in Bahia de Las Animas two years ago. The largest of the bunch was a 6.8 or 6.9. We ended up being
about 15 miles from the epicenter; easily the closest people to the quake at that time. Now that was a fun ride!
San Francisquito did not fare well in those quakes. As far as I know, the damage to the resort still has not been repaired.

Currently patrolling L.A. Harbor aboard Fire Boat 2. All still afloat or standing. Hope we're allowed to re-house tonight or it's gonna be a long one.

Doc can probably see my building in downtown Long Beach from the water and yeah, it was rocking and rolling for quite some time. Opened my door to the
hallway and a lady looking a bit shaky was walking down the stairs mumbling "I am going back to Louisiana".

We were watching Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson on TV, when my wife alerted me. She felt it. I didn't. The chandelier was moving a tad.

To wait for the next hurricane that lasts for 15 hours vs the 15 second earthquake.

Better to be shaken than stirred....Still there is a disturbing pattern to earthquake frequency on more westerly fault systems in So Cal since the
Laguna Salida earthquake. The San Jacinto and Elsinore fault systems seem more active.
Is the stress field forcing the ruptures to straighten out between south and north of the Transverse range?

I live about three miles from the epicenter and it's been shaking constantly since Friday... four in a row last night, not big, but enough to wake me
up on the second floor of a house with a slab foundation.
Better to have a million little annoying ones than one big disastrous one.
