I definitely felt it. I was in the bathroom getting ready to go to bed. I'm surprised the epicenter was over 30 miles away and I felt it as strongly as I did. I'm glad I have my earthquake bag by my bed and ready to go....

I was parked at a stop light on the way to work.
My car began shaking and I thought it was my engine misfiring from dirty spark plugs or something.
Then I saw dust coming off of the power lines, and saw everything moving. I realized then, it was an earthquake.

Sad that 8 people died. One scrambling for cover at a college or library and was hit by falling debris.
