I thought "am I losing it"?

I just woke up to my ceiling fan shaking, and the my whole apartment shaking - walls and all. I jumped out of bed and threw some pants on - it would have to be something crazy going on to make my walls shake - and went to my sliding door thinking are we having 100 mile per hour winds or something?

Pretty frightening! I've never experienced an earthquake...I'm not surprised, though, that you thought you were out of your head for a moment--that drastic return to consciousness can be quite a shock!

Thanks for the add btw--I've added you back! :)

It brought me out of a deep slumber, that's for sure..

Wow, your first earthquake! I grew up with little earthquakes in Northern CA, and even when you know what they are, they're still really surprising in the moment. Glad nothing fell on you!

I woke up to my TV antenna rattling against the wall. I thought that's an annoying noise and reached my hand over to stabalize it. For a second I worried that my glass vase with bamboo, rocks and water would fall over, but then I fell back asleep before I could do anything about it.

I had friends that fell back asleep. I doubt I'll ever be able to sleep through an earthquake, I sleep to light.

By the way, today is the 102nd anniversary of the big SF earthquake of 1906. Freaky coincidence, no?

No doubt - heard that on NPR. Where are you from? My little sister is in Santa Rosa doing Americorps.

Wow... I wasn't even aware that Indiana had earthquakes.

Neither was I.
