It was just violent enough and long enough to shake my Texan nerves.
11:42 a.m.
I was sitting at my desk, business as usual.
I felt something.
A little startled, I looked around.
Curtains aren’t supposed to shake on their own.
Earthquake!!
I ran into the doorway as soon as I realized what was happening. It had been shaking about five seconds already by this time. I think it lasted just a few more seconds before it stopped. The excitement and adrenaline lasted me the rest of the day.
Amazing. This was the biggest earthquake LA has received since 1994.
