Found it. This was actually a 5.1 mag according to other websites, and less than 100 miles from me as the crow flies. Happened on land, less that 2 km below ground surface. Now we will probably be getting rolling aftershocks for the rest of the day.

A little bit too close for comfort for my liking, and my head and body is still feeling weird from the lack of equilibrium and slight nausea that occurs during a quake.

Relax, let your energy re-center. I get like that during solar flares and bomb tests.
Thanks, I'm okay now, centered, it just takes a few minutes. We're getting some rolling going on now, I can't really feel it much but all my houseplants are shivering and shaking with the rolling. Actually, every time we get a quake the first thing I do is look at the houseplants to see how they're responding, I usually can get a good idea of what magnitude it is by how gentle or violent the response of the plants is. I have a 5 foot tall Norfolk Pine tree indoors and it really whips it's branches back and forth when we get a quake over 5 mag.

It's all cool.
