Now that I corrected the y-scale the plot from our 
vertical  http://bnordgren.org/seismo/090803.175000.bhz-pl.psn.gif  shows 
roughly 3mm/s peak,  which agrees pretty well with the values (assuming you 
meant mm/s) that you were seeing.  This is from near LA which is at about 
6.5 deg.  It's interesting that if you assume the predominant frequency was 
1/13 seconds, that should imply that the vertical ground motion at Dave's 
vault was about 6.2mm peak or 1.24 cm p-p.  That's a lot of motion!

For laughs, I uploaded the output from the high gain channel 
http://bnordgren.org/seismo/090803.175000.bhz-ph.psn.gif which clips at 
300um/s and indeed it clipped.  However, the low gain channel should be 
able to handle up to 1.5cm/sec peak.
