Southern California Earthquake +Tropical Storm

Along with the tropical storm moving through Southern California (no problem here at the moment btw, just a lot of heavy rain this afternoon), I just got an earthquake alert for a 6.0 nearby. I'm waiting until I can get official information.
A report from the San Francisco Chronicle says a 6.0 quake was "followed by more than 60 aftershocks" including one at 5.2. I do see on USGC a 5.0 in Ojai an hour or so ago, but I suspect that's not it.
2:56 PM: Looks like it wasn't 6.0, despite the blaring alarm I got, but was a 5.1. (Or that info is still not yet come in despite the SF Chronicle article.) I've given the current data above.
Quite a setup at the time of the quake: Mercury conjunct Mars at MC opposite Neptune on IC.
