There’s a rattle, there’s a roll

This is how I know I’m way too Californian. When a bit of rattle and roll earthquake hit a few minutes ago, I excitedly (and rather happily I confess) screamed ‘Earthquake!‘ and as soon as the shake ends, I go to find the rest of the household to talk about and then try to guess the magnitude before officially looking it up.

My guess: 4.0 M

Officially: 4.5 M

Darn, off by 0.5 M.

Alright, I also would have freaked it had been stronger or lasted longer than 3 seconds but I’m currently amused at my past-me’s enjoyment of the moment.
