Also, why would you worry about an earthquake after it happened? It's not like a tub where the shockwave will hit the edge and come back and hit you a second time, if you're unhurt then goody go on with life.
That is exactly what it is like.
We had a 7.1 earthquake in September 2010 that was 10km deep (6 miles) occur at 4 AM. That then set off a nearby fault under the city in 2011, causing a 6.3 quake under the city during lunch that was 5km deep (3 miles) and destroyed hundreds of buildings and killed a couple hundred people.
Even now we are still rebuilding and demolishing crap while getting aftershocks.
We have had several thousand earthquakes since 2010 of between 2.0 and 6.0 magnitude, all very shallow.
I would suggest that a quake of 4.4 that wasn't near your house is nothing to lose sleep over. If you live in California which I think someone mentioned earlier, you should be used to stuff like that. Unless your house is roaring and you are being tossed side to side with your furniture, you have nothing to worry about lol.
Though if its just the sound / expectation you are worried about, don't be. As mentioned above, aftershocks can't be bigger than the main event. Historically they are always lower. A quake like this is unlikely to cause anything interesting.
