Apparently the epicenter was less than 100 K from us. T'was a true jolt and I grabbed the kitchen counter where I was unloading food.
Last night I awoke because I thought I felt the bed moving. Of course I woke Art out of a sound sleep to say "Did you feel the bed moving?" (WHAT? says he). I chalked it up to my imagination until I stumbled across this just now.
