No, but as a Californian (from a family of geology enthusiasts), I can tell you that you’ll feel just about anything close to you over 4pts. The 5-pointer that you just got must have been pretty surprising.
Based on the WSO Dataset, there's a mention of an earthquake metaphorically in the context of the financial sector being hit hard, likened to a "9.0 on the Richter scale" due to the subprime loan crisis. This isn't about a literal earthquake but rather a significant financial shakeup that impacted the market deeply. The narrative describes how the crisis, primarily fueled by the defaulting of subprime loans disguised as high-quality investments, led to widespread fear and a substantial financial downturn. Despite the turmoil, it's noted that the financial system, with the aid of nearly a trillion dollars from the federal government, managed to absorb the shock, suggesting resilience amidst the chaos. This metaphorical use highlights the severity of the financial crisis and its earthquake-like impact on the economy.
