Looks like a 5.8.  This may change as the more detailed calculations are completed.

Answer 4

5.8 then changed to 5.4 , it was a scary strong quake, i was in it,

Answer 5

It was originally estimated at 5.8. This was then downgraded to 5.4 about a half hour later when seismologists analized the data.

When determining the earthquake magnitude, the motion of the earthquake is taken into consideration. If an earthquake has a side-to-side motion (as this one did), that results in a lower magnitude quake, as opposed to an up-and-down motion. This is because the up-and-down motion feels like the earth is rising and then slamming back down, causing foundations and support columns to fail. But, foundations and support columns can more easily withstand the side-to-side motion.
