Watching TV last night I felt a jolt. I looked around at the clock 10:07pm. Normally I'd turn to someone and ask "Did you feel that?" But I was alone, so I turned to my cats and said "Did you feel that?"< - - this photo is indictative of their response.
I asked a myriad of co-workers all who had a similar response to that of my cats. Until I saw L in the hallway.
Me: Did you feel an earthquake last night?"
L: Let me check.
Me: ??
The below is the e-mail sent by L and I abbreviated the listed info for obvious reasons:

A-ha! I did feel an earthquake! I live a stone's throw from MacArthur Park!
When I saw how many earthqaukes (most of a very small magnitutde) that actually occur in California all day every day, I was.... oddly comforted.

One of your cats is quite... "curvy."
Shake rattle and roll!
@ BSH - GIGANTIC is more the word for that cat.
Yep Yep...my friend said there was an earthquake in San Jose the other day.
Better for the faults to move a little at a time, than to not move at all for a long time, then release a BIG one!
San Diego is in trouble.
