Didn't notice or feel it... Think I was driving anyway so who could tell when driving a Jeep (maybe it was when it felt smoother all the sudden )

I was driving in the Jeep. So much for the smooth ride, It didn't feel any different.

I KNEW I wasn't crazy! ...well....I probably am, but I didn't imagine this! I was kicked back at my desk at work and I felt a kind of a rolling shake and noticed my water bottle was shaking.

Speak for yourself...
Personally I am traumatized!

Oh, wait! I didn't feel the quake so that can't be it...

As the crow flies I am probably about 5-7 miles from the epicenter of that quake so it hit a bit harder at my house. Plus my house being a 1924 old wood framed house and i was on the second floor...needless to say I was rolling a bit.

This quake had a hard "bang" to it just as it hit. My Wife thought someone had driven into our house but a few seconds later she rea;ized we were having an earthquake. I've lived in SoCal all my life and remember every big quake we have had. Only once have I heard the "bang" before I felt the quake...now it's twice.
