We really just DID have an earthquake.. 16 miles below the surface so it's shallow and we can expect aftershocks. Apprently some people have some cracked plaster and broken dishes but no injuries reported. It was a 4.0 magnitute. It happened at 5:59pm my time and it's 6:28pm right now. I was sitting at my desk and I saw Bassett come slinking into my room, and I heard what I thought was a door slamming and the floor kinda vibrated, and then it sounded like LOTS of doors slamming and it really started to shake. Bassett went tearing under the bed, Tilly jumped up and eventually went under the bed, and I grabbed the kitten and got under the desk.

I'm just so scared right now. I've never been in an earthquake before and I realised that I have no way of protecting my cats
