All Shook Up

Oh, man, am I jealous of you guys. I've always wanted to feel an earthquake. No, seriously. What was it like?

I slept right through it.

I'm pretty sure Pepper felt it, and made some of her muppety noises – otherwise I would have slept though it completely.
At 11:11 PM, ML said...: Slept through it. Then again, I slept through the knocking down of a wall directly below my room as a kid. And the digging of a cesspool in the front yard with one of them giant Caterpillar machines (with the front windows in my room open).
At 11:46 PM, e.h. said...: i slept through it. i didn't even know about it until a co-worker asked me if the earthquake woke me up. i think i said something along the lines of "what earthquake?"
At 10:37 PM, Andy said...: I was in southern Minnesota. So, no. :)
At 1:13 PM, Bigmouth said...: Heh... the night after the earthquake, I woke up to a loud thumping noise, and thought tht was ANOTHER earthquake. Then I realized it was just Stewie, thumping her foot on the floor.
At 1:59 AM, acb said...: I was awake. If you've ever felt a building shake when a heavy truck rolls down the street, that's what it was like. In fact, I thought at first that's what it was except that it was 4:30am, dark and quiet.
