Did you feel it?

At 2:09:56am this morning, an earthquake which immediately registered as a 4.1 (later downgraded to a 4.0) sent its waves through Newport Beach.  The quake was centered at 33.741°N 117.491°W, near Corona California, approximately 27 miles from Hoag Hospital.  A quick but gentle jolt, this was enough to wake light sleepers in the area.
