I slept through the quake. I woke up with the dog barking!

[FearTheTerps]

I thought I felt the bed shaking last night, then I realized I was the only one in it.

I felt it looked up on shelf and was hoping the bird house didnt come off and hit me.Im taking then down off shelf today!!

[Reefoholic]

It woke me up. I have been kinda iffy lately and think that everything is an earthquake, lol! I think it is good that we are getting a steady and small magnitude after shocks since this means that the tectonic plates are settling.

 

Oh well. Now we have a hurricane to deal with...

I was awake and felt nothing. My son was also awake and told me he felt nothing.

My awake teens felt it but I slept through and so did my hound. Guess we will not be depending on him to predict earthquakes!
