Normally my cat wakes me up and demands to be let out about then. Not this morning. More quakes please.

I slept right through it. Found out about it through my Twitter and Facebook feeds.

I didn't feel it so much as hear it! Sounded like a big jet was approaching the house....but then it never flew over, so I kinda wondered what the hell was up. Earthquake. Makes total sense. My first quake too!

Oh yeah. Definitely felt this one. It wasn't massive, but everything rocked back and forth for a good little bit. More than just a truck rumbling by. My first earthquake!

I woke up a few minutes before and felt it in Anacortes. It was exhilarating, but I have yet to feel one and think "Oh crap, I need to get to safety." Instead, I tend to think "Woah, was that an earthquake? I gotta check this out online..."

Actually woke up a couple hours before the quake for some weird reason (must've had that animal quake 6th sense) and couldnt go back to sleep until I felt the quake. It was a pretty good shaker in the CD!

I completely slept through it. But, totally, let's keep the Viaduct open until 2012.
