I felt the earth. move. under my feet.


and I wasn't even dancing.  I experienced my first earthquake last night.  It was only a 4.7 - but the jolt was still surprising none the less.  I was chillin, watching tv and bam - the house starts to shake.  My friend grabs me to take me outside.  I argue and explain we were supposed to lay next to furniture.  I was wrong.  Apparently you are supposed to survey your surroundings and then decide whether to duck or run.  House on hill = run.  I'll remember that next time.  

ps. I live on the North side of the peninsula above Long Beach.....
