i totally felt it and I thought i was dreaming until i woke up to the morning news!!! and the whole time i was lying in bed thinking....hmmm, wonder if it is a tornadoe or an earthquake? and if it is a tornadoe shaking the house like this, it is to late to worry about it, so i went back to sleep. heeeheee! but it was kinda freaky feeling!
Can you believe it... I didn't feel a thing because I was dead asleep to the world! LOL!!! Everyone else felt it though. I can't believe I missed it! :o( As an upcoming science teacher...I love this stuff. Here in Louisville, KY... we had some building damage. I hope you have a great day! Hugs, Ash~

I didnt feel either one! The one this morning or the one at around 11:15!
Earthquake! No problem! Of course being a native Californian you just take these things in stride. Last one we had was a couple months ago.
Glad there was no major damage and no one was hurt.
