Yep, It woke me up. I was at the dentist and had been sippin on some pain medication afterward so it must have been a good jolt.

Luckily ill be moving into a house next month. No more apt. living for me!!!!!
I thought is was the Richard Cranium that lives below me slamming the door like normal. The walls to my apt are like paper thin...the damn place moves like a quake when large trucks roll past. Ill be WAY happy when im out of this dump.

I guess it's that I have been more than just inconvenienced by a few of them. Kind of like calling traffic accidents cool, not my thing. Glad everyone is ok. Only felt the main one and was awake waiting for the follow-ups that never came for us. Understand your point about the sarcasm

I felt it too over here on the West Side. It was this strange, gentle rolling motion that didn't stop for quite some time - my desk with a hutch was swaying as if our house were a house boat.
Didn't feel the aftershocks though.

When I was getting my house built I lived in my RV for almost 2 yrs. 4 of us and 3 dogs and a cat in a 29' class A. No power and had to drive 10 miles to empty the tanks every other day.
I dont wish that on anyone
