okay, I've been here almost 10 years and this is only the 4th quake I've felt but it was definitely the biggest. I was sitting on the couch with bf in mtn view and it was his first. we just looked at each other and simultaneously said "earthquake." we both stood up, hugged, and then he ran out of the house (silly boy) to see what had been damaged.

this was definitely more a roller than a shaker in my experience. and we definitely heard it. it seemed very long to me (compared to my other experiences) -- 10 seconds or so.

I was kinda giddy all night. he couldn't sleep. I'm glad everyone's okay.
