Earthquake

On Wednesday, just before 5:00pm, my recliner started to shake. Then I felt a swaying motion followed by a loud rattle of the windows. We were having an earthquake. It was centered near Borrego Springs in northeast San Diego County. It registered at 5.4 and lasted about 30 seconds, which seemed long to me. Marc was taking a nap and it woke him up, but not enough to realize what was going on. It was a gentle rolling shake. It was scary to realize that the entire house was shaking.
