Dude, no wonder you felt it: it was practically centered on your house.

(Actually, there appear to have been two quakes, an hour apart, last night. I didn't feel either one of 'em. A couple dozen people here in Mountain View did report feeling them, but those reports were very low-intensity.)

For those not in CA, note that these were magnitude 3.9 and 3.0 -- pretty small as earthquakes go. The USGS doesn't even automatically show a map for anything under 3.5, and humans don't generally notice quakes below 2.5. (It's a logarithmic scale, so 3.5 is ten times as strong as 2.5, but even so, that means ten times as strong as barely perceptible.)
