I slept through it here in Sherman Oaks. But maybe that's why my cats are acting weird this morning!

I've only been through a few small quakes since moving here and when I felt the shaking start this morning and I just froze. Good thing it wasn't any bigger!

People are callin in like it was something major... foreshock maybe?
More like foreshadowing. The story is currently on Yahoo and there's hotblaze of comments on the story. Check them out. Everyone is saying the same thing. This earthquake was just a warning and a reminder. Be prepared people.

Magnitude 4.4 Earthquake shakes Southern Calif (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100316/ap_on_re_us/us_southern_california_quake - broken link).

Talking Yep, felt it.

I was so scared that I almost poop myself. Good thing, I was sitting in the toilet, when it happened.

It woke me up. Well actually I think my fiance woke me up. It felt like any other earthquake I've felt just a bit weaker. A jolt, then a rumble, then nothing.

I've never been scared during a quake, (and this one was no different) but there's a point during one where you assess in real-time if you should stay sleeping or get under a doorway or run outside in your boxers.

Yep. I'm 3 stories up in a woodframe building here probably 10 miles from the epicenter. Woke up on the first jolt as the place started to sway pretty good. I thought it would have been more than a 4.4. I'm born and raised here and earthquakes aren't a big deal, but I've been through all the bad ones in a single story on a slab, not in a 3 story wood frame building built 50 years ago that sways and shimmies in as little as high winds
