First you are fine, everything is fine, good to read that.
Second:
and then wowed everyone by guessing the magnitude within 0.5 degrees' accuracy.
They weren't the only ones... see my open mouth "O"

Thank you:-) (And honestly, I guessed, based on the quakes I was in Japan--I was surprised I got that close too. (But shhh, don't tell!)

I was just thinking, Japan prepared us well for earthquakes. No shocks for us! Good on you for not losing it, though I do wonder how you handled your very first earthquake. I stared at my toaster oven as it almost fell off of microwave, which almost fell off of my fridge. It was nearly magical, then I was like, oh shit, earthquake!

I'll say it did, and I'm thankful for it! I was only five years old for my first quake experience--ma mere rushed my sister and I into a convenience store (we'd been in a car) and I remember telling her some very bad kids had been in there because they'd thrown all the snacks, etc. onto the floor. And that's how I found out about earthquakes;-)
