Last night I was awaken by my dog's growl. 2 seconds later a small one hit.

I didn't even notice, but everyone else in the building did. I'm oblvious to them. I was living in the North Bay (Santa Rosa) when the Loma Prieta hit in '89 and was the only one who didn't feel it then too.

The last time I felt one I lived in San Jose and it was during "The Big One" or whatever. Probably the same one that Cody speaks of. The highway flattening one.

The first one was a 3.8 magnitude 2 miles out of Mogul and the second one was a 2.6 magnitude about 2 miles out as well.

We felt the 3.8 one here at IGT. First time I've felt any of these recent quakes. Felt like someone fat was walking by my cube.

Seemed pretty minor to me, though I'm like 15 miles from the epicenter. Quakes don't bother me until they're in the 5.0+ range.
