My First Moderate Earthquake Experience

There I was, peacefully half-sleeping on my bed, and then everything shook. I shrugged it off, thinking it was only going to last a second or few, and stayed in bed.

Then, after three seconds of seeing my room thrash around violently, I got out of my sleepy reverie, yelped, and stumbled out of bed, and finally got to the doorway.

Anyways, the Earthquake was a 5.8, and lasted 20 seconds, according to the news.

I got the full force of the Earthquake, cuz the center of the quake was in the city I live. Isn't that great :]

'Janos said he has lived in southern California for about 12 years, and "I can tell you this is probably the best one we have had."' lmao.

Poor Nikomedes' furniture turned over :[

UPDATE: Okay, so apparently the earthquake's scale was later revised to 5.4.
