At 2:30pm. Must have been more than 4 because the shake was quite noticeable.
Will check what the reports say.

I sensed it more than I felt it, very very light. My wife and son felt nothing here in Veron.

Since the Saturday quake event of 2:29 pm and as of this time Sunday am, there has been 27 aftershocks of lesser scale in the vicinity of the quake. PJT thinks this is good news, there is a release of small increments of the pressure on the nearby Septentrional fault. It is better to have a bunch of little ones rather than the "big one".

Yeah, since experiencing the 2003 quake in POP I prefer any bunch of little ones better than anything more than 5.0, one feels so helpless can't do anything against it, scary.
