I felt it too! I woke up, and my whole bed and house were shaking. I yelled out, "Our house is shaking! Why is our house shaking???" LOL I think someone told me it was something to do with the guys paving our street. I thought that maybe it was an earthquake and went back to bed. It was kinda scary though....

I felt it. I have this really cluttered book case in my room next to my bed, so I woke up by all my lotion bottles crashing down on me. You know...one thing falls, they all fall down :rolleyes: Well I'm sitting there and I'm like "MOTHER WE'RE DYING!" and she yells back "It's only an earthquake. Go back to bed"

I felt it. I walked into my bathroom and the door started to shake.

OMG, I was in my bed... and my eyes shot open. All of a sudden I heard everything shaking, and I felt like my head was spinning. I've never been in an earthquake before. The only other time was like a split second and I slept through it. This one I actually FELT. I was so drowsy that I actually thought it was a dream, though! You know those dreams where you are falling and you actually physically feel like you're falling? I thought it was like that: I was dreaming about an earthquake, and I felt it. Unfortunately, it really WAS an earthquake. :eek:
