It woke us up.I thought the dog was on the bed scratching but he wasn’t.This one was very unusual for a California quake.It was so fast and hard just like a dog scratching itself.We are 15 miles from Fremont.It was a real jerky quake not like the ones we usually get that just roll and sway.This one really shook you.There were three in Oklahoma and one in Japan so far today.I’m going back to bed now.Good night.

The one in Fremont was only 5 miles deep which is why it was rough, but I live in Oregon and we’re just waiting for the 9.+ they are predicting for us :/
