I Feel the Earth Move

Just had another earthquake. This one felt a lot different than the last few I've felt. Instead of a shortish hard jerk, this one rumbled a bit then got stronger then tapered off. All of that in a just a few seconds.

My TV is the best indicator of an earthquake. It must not be very tightly secured to its base because it creaks quite loudly. I would've thought that my hanging lamp would've moved more than it did. It's still swinging but only just slightly.

I hope my heartbeat calms down soon. I might have to have a cup of tea.

Update: The USGS is saying that it was a 4.4 centered near Santa Rosa, which is quite a ways away from me. I should watch the news tonight and see if there was any damage up that way.
