It actually woke me up shortly after I went to bed last night.
The whole house shook and the low rumble made me think there was an issue with the air conditioning unit on the roof, but I knew it wasn't turned on, so I actually thought to myself, "that felt like an earthquake, how odd!" and went right back to sleep!
My antique cabinet was rattling so I got up to steady it at 11:49PM; thot something had hit the house. This AM I checked out the house and everything was fine. Didn't hear any news on the radio shows I listened to so thot I had dreamt it. I've only been thru one other in Gt Falls when the chandelier was rocking.
Interesting that this earthquake was so close to the surface.
For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination. Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
I felt the stronger two up here in Camp Verde! The 4.1 was one quick, fairly hard jolt that freaked the cats out and rattled things in the kitchen. The next one twenty minutes later was about 2-3 seconds of shaking.
Nothing compared to the two I felt while living in SoCal, but kinda cool nonetheless!
I felt it very strongly in Amber Hills at Carefree Highway...
The dork in me wants to go to the epicenter coordinates until I remembered that the 'movement' was 4 KM down and there would be no visual sign above ground for a quake this size...
The epicenter is on a hillside slope just east of the Agua Fria.

This is my second earthquake. The first was a 3.3 that I felt while I was talking to the valet at the LAX Marriott... He goes, ' That must be your first one, huh'. I said, yep.

Yesterday I was hiking between Black Canyon City and the epicenter. One part, I was under this ledge eroded out from a wash imaging what would happen if an earthquake struck. Shivers. Not sure I want to see whether the ledge is still there or not.
Here's the ledge, I was under the dark part just left of center.

The Northridge quake in 1994 was crazy
ya, I was talking to my cousin while it was happening; she said "I gotta go". No kidding...

Hrmm, talking on the phone? Interesting. What I remember was that it sounded and felt like ten trains going right through your house (not that I would know what that sounds and feels like), except it felt like it lasted forever. But I was pretty close to the epicenter, about 10 miles away.
I just got home from work before the second one hit. It almost knock my beer over and then the third one hit while I was holding my second beer tightly.

Good thing you took precautions. Tragedy was narrowly averted.

Was asleep, but the jolt of the first larger one woke me up. MJ sat up in bed, hit me and said, "Did you feel that?" I said, "Yes, and I felt the earthquake, too."
All you have is your fire...
And the place you need to reach
During fall, winter and spring I live on the riverbank, 30 miles downriver from Davis Dam, an earth-filled dam built in about 1950... Haven't felt any earthquakes yet but you can be assured I make certain my motorhome is always in operating condition...
