I was sitting in my desk chair on wheels and I moved back and forth a couple of inches lol.


Tremor was 4.6 on the Richter scale according to news reports.

Heard a bang but didn't feel anything shaking
My dogs went crazy though and I wondered why they were so upset.
Now I know.

Last earth tremor I felt was back in the late 60's.

I was in my bedroom (15yo I think) reading a book (no computers or mobiles or much of anything really).

Dad raced in and yelled "What the hell are you doing?"

 :lol
