I was woken up this morning by a 3.6 magnitude earthquake.
At first I thought I was still reeling from happy hour. I was really surprised that it woke me up because 1. I was still a little tipsy and 2. I’ve been know to sleep through fire alarms. It felt like a strong blast of thunder, except it came from below. I live in the basement of a house, and I could feel the ground and the walls shaking and rattling. There was also a lot of noise; it sounded like a plane taking off.
Apparently there have been no reports of significant damage (other than a few picture frames falling off the walls) and no injuries. I know that this was a tiny one, but it was really kind of terrifying. I don’t like it when the ground moves.
This is why I don’t live in California.
