I'd never experienced a 5.4 quake until this morning. I was sitting at my computer when suddenly the floor and walls were ROCKED and ROLLED by awesome power. I had a WTF Moment. My monitors and CPUs bounced. Drawers were knocked open. Glass was broken. By the time the dogs and I ran outside, the quake duration of about 25 seconds had passed. We should all be thankful that the quake was not stronger.
That said, me thinks the media overplayed a bit.
