I guess now I have had the official California experience---last night we had a small earthquake:
The 4.5 preliminary magnitude quake was centered 4.1 miles north-northwest of the suburb of Chatsworth, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was extremely shallow, at only 3 miles deep.
It happened a little before 1AM, and woke me up---the bed was shaking and at first I thought someone was in the room moving the bed around.
It is very disorienting to wake up to an earthquake.
