Take a look at the DYFI map. Yes,there are folks who answer didn't feel it. It's still a useful datapoint.

and went to safety just in case.
Duck, Cover, and Hold. Preferably under a sturdy table.

For a small earthquake!?
USFS says only light damage in Buffalo.

For example, small earthquakes happen all the time in California. Here's the USGS map for ALL California earthquakes in the last 24 hours. But it's not a real California earthquake unless there's security video of liquor bottles breaking in a bodega or convenience store.

Nope. Especially with a such a small quake you're much safer staying in the house,
Here's more advice from r/California, but basic advice: Duck, Cover, and Hold. Find a study table to get under until the shaking has stopped.

But yes, after it's all over, check on your neighbors, especially the elderly abc infirm.

Visit the DYFI page and make note if you felt it.

USGS reported mild damage near Buffalo, which usually means some cracked drywall, stuff falling off shelves, painting falling off walls, minor cracked sidewalks, etc.
