Yes, I felt it! My whole house shook long enough for me to get up and look outside to see what was going on. It gave me a start, to say the least!

I live in N. Scottsdale, AZ and my bed shook VERY violently at 11:30pm.My bed is on wheels on a tile floor. My 2 macaws flew off of their cages and one, Bebe, went into my mom’s bedroom and got onto her walker. My other parrot, Zeke, was found roaming in the hallway, walking towards my mom’s bedroom. It was terrifying, as I thought it was another haunting . My house is haunted by two family members who died tragically. I’m so glad it was an earthquake! Thus far, I have not found any damage to my home.
