My First Earthquake!

I felt an earthquake today! I am really excited. I always wanted to feel one. Several months ago, when I was in California, I jumped up and down for an hour but nothing happened.

Here's my earthquake story. It was around 4:00 today. I was writing on the computer. My room shook a bit. I thought it was the trucks outside. Then I took a nap.

You can read more Earthquake 2003 stories in this article from The Washington Post, which is how I found out I was in an earthquake.

Update: The Washington Post put up a forum for people to post their earthquake stories. What struck me is that several people wrote something along the lines of "I was glad it was only an earthquake." There's still a lot of fear out there.
