my bed shook this morning, and i woke up about an hour before my alarm went off. disoriented, my brain tried to process the reason for my abrupt return to consciousness. sleepily, i decided one of my neighbors must've slammed the door really hard leaving just then (i am on the 2nd floor of 3, after all) and that would explain the thump.
nope.
my trip down to starbucks for my morning hot chocolate revealed that seattle had experienced an earthquake. my first earthquake!
ok, so it was only a 4.6, but still! how rude!

i know the feeling from experiencing several california tremors growing up. it always takes a moment for the brain to snap out of it's 'business as usual' mode and recognize it can't reconcile the sensory input with previous experience. small ones are fun; let's hope it stays that way!
This is Shawnee--not Alex.
