In the seven (I think!) years we have lived in SoCal I have only felt one...maybe one and a half earthquakes. The one I felt I was reading in bed when it happened. By the time I realized what was happening - it was over. The biggest one since I have been here last Easter - I was outside trying to get Edwina and Eddie out from under a car where they were hiding. I wondered why the car was shaking. Then I heard the neighbor kids yelling "earthquake!!" Because I was outside there was not a sensation of movement.
There have been probably half a dozen small ones that I did not notice because I was in a car, on a roller coaster - or just didn't feel it!
Glad you are safe Randi!
