I know I woke up with my bed shaking today. I am 23 and it is the first distinct tremor I have ever felt. Pretty strange.

I was half asleep sitting on the throne for my morning pee when I felt the shakes and the noise of things rattling in the house. I thought that it was high winds, a transformer explosion, or a car had run into the house. I went outside to see a beautiful cloudless sky. I didn’t think earthquake until I heard it on the news.

I also felt the quake this morning … but my wife didn’t. I’m just glad other people felt it so I know I didn’t imagine it.

I woke up to my bed shaking and could feel the building moving. I thought I must have made the right decision to move. I thought the foundation was collapsing. So relieved to know it was indeed an earthquake.

I thought my house was falling down or something. It was quite startling.

I was getting up when my mom felt it happen. For some reason, not many people at my school felt. Did it only affect certain people?
