think it all depends where you are relative to the epic center
as i understand an earthquake spawns waves similar to those when you throw a stone into a lake, in the spots where the waves surface there is a greater movement and damages.
a 4.4 doesnt last very long, perhaps 10 seconds, it jolted my house initially and then rolled a few times, kinda feel like you are on a houseboat for a short instant except you hear the rumbling, doors and cabinets shake, lamps and hanging plants sway a little.
not a big deal, however there is always the thought it could be just the initial shaker and the big one is following..
