My cat flipped out and is looking at my like I am trying to kill him.

Same. If felt like at least a 5. But seeing how close I am to the epicenter... maybe I shouldn't be surprised. LOL... and my cats did the same thing... they're currently under furniture with eyes wide open.

Still not really very bad, I've been in two "earthquakes" here in Tennesse that were both in the lower 4 range and each was only slightly noticible, although the second one did wake me up and messed up the TV which happened pretty much anytime you more than slightly touched it for some reason.

lol, so you know what an earthquake that registers as a 5 on the richer scale feels like?

I was here for the 1989 Loma Prieta quake in California. Now that was a big quake (6.9 I think). I remember seeing the earth roll, very surreal.

I remember seeing our orange tree right in the backyard shake violently that day in Central California.

I've been through two 7.0 earthquakes. I was making a prediction relative to those. The difference in this case was that I'm much more closer to the epicenter. Hence why I was wrong.

I haven't been in a quake but the difference from 3.4 to 4.4 to 5 is HUGE isn't it?

I hope all is well with everyone in Cali.
