Hi, I am in southern Cal, and was up outsied early this morning. I happened to be enjoying the cool morning air when I noticed little waves in the pool. It wasn't breezy, and I just glanced around the edges thinking maybe a lizard had fallen in. After finishing my cig, I went in made some coffee and turned on the news. It really surprised me to find I had little waves from that quake so far north!
