I felt it, and didn't know what it was at first then stuff started dropping off shelves and i threw my homework into the air and crawled under my desk. Now I lost my pencil.
My friend:
"I was playing on my computer when I noticed that it was rumbling. I then looked at the rest of the room, and I saw that the plants hanging from the ceiling and the floor standing lamps were all shaking like mad. My parents and my brothers started yelling "Earthquake", and we ran to the family room to get under the pool table. However, the earthquake had just stopped. It had lasted for about 7-10 seconds. I then went to inspect the house and found that a picture and some jars were displaced, and that some minor cracks in the wall grew larger.
Walking back to my computer, I checked an IM from a friend (thank yahoo IM and friend), and he said that he just experienced an earthquake at his house. He had sent me a link to the USGS site where the earthquake information was."

No, being several thousands of miles away, but I do have the USGS website bookmarked on my browser. You can look up the earthquake and insert comments where it asks "did you feel it?" (if you want.)

Shook you up, eh? It's been awhile since we've had one... -Let's hope it's NOT the start of a "Trend..." -or the continuation of one, thanks to the Wildfires! :(
