    I did too in Upstate NY, but it wasn't anything major.. I actually thought it was the neighbor's doing laundry, because my desk was shaking again. I guess the 5's range is what California gets a regular basis lol.


    Still, it was a very odd experience for an East Coast gal lol.
    I was asleep for the last major one that happened like 5 years ago so..

    I was in a subway car when it occurred. I would've been shaking whether it happened or not, so I didn't notice a thing. :D
