My first shake in LA (sorry you missed it Linds)


Something moved 30 miles away and 3 miles underground and it shook our apartment last night at 1am. The earthquake was a 4.5 at the epicenter (about a 3.0 in LA) which is strong enough to clearly NOT be just a fleet of big trucks driving by, and besides, we're not next to any major streets. It kind of felt like the whole apartment was driving like a car. It had the small fast vibrations like a rumbling engine, plus the somewhat bigger bounces and sways of the road. It wasn't that strong though. It didn't like tip stuff over or shake stuff off of the counter or anything. It wasn't all that dramatic, but it was clearly a case of things that shouldn't be moving, doing just that. Maybe it was just God saying, "stop playing with your new camera and go to sleep, you idiot." So anyway, that's what I did.
