This was the first California quake I'd ever experienced, despite having lived here for over 6 years. All the previous quakes in CA during my time here occured either while I was out of state or having sex :-) I was so excited about the quake last night! We could even feel the ripple of the earth moving under us. It was awesome to finally feel one out here!

The only other one I've felt was when I was about 9 and living in Indiana; I was crouched down getting dance tights out of the bottom drawer and it knocked me onto my butt :-)

The cats were acting all strange this morning and I got paranoid, wondering if they were trying to warn me about a bigger earthquake that's on its way. Turns out that the ants had found their food dish, but I was having a serious Lassie moment there for a bit.
