When people came up to me to ask if I felt the original quake at 4:30ish this morning, I told them that my bed is always rockin' so it didn't faze me! (It sounded better than the truth which was I'd slept right through it!)

I have windchimes hanging in the house and they kept ringing for 5 minutes. Then the aftershock felt like a big wind hitting the house...the chimes started ringing again. People say their pets get all weirded out but both mine slept through it.
