Neat! Whenever we have temblors up to 5.0 here we just shake for a while, we don't get actual faultline movement. The last time I saw something like that was after a 6.7 centered in Morona-Santiago, which is about 250 km to the South of me. In Quito, we got road faults from that one in the historic center - the cobbles all just shifted about a foot and a half to the left in the Plaza Grande, and all the fruit came off the palms.
