Here is the story what happened to me.
I was visiting my family in California because I had not seen them in a long time. Often in the wee hours on of the cats in their home would come for love in the wee hours of the morning. I enjoyed giving the attention cause then I would go back to sleep after. This morning about 4:30am one of the cats had come to spend time with me and was sitting on my chest for quite some time while I petted them. I was just starting to get sleepy again when the cat jumped up and launched off me like a bat out of hell. I was like hmm I wonder what hat was all about. Not 30 seconds later I heard this roar/rumble then the earth started shaking. I literally was like hmmmmmmmm. After it ended my brother who was also sleeping in the room asked me.... So what did you think of your first earthquake? All I said was interesting! It was one of the biggest ones they ever had in years at the time. Since the shaking did not bother me that much I decided to stay. I have been through probably 7-10 earthquakes since but probably only 4-5 that were considered really significant enough to cause damage. I love them.
