Hey everyone...read below, but Judi...the quake was 5.2...huge for us flat-landers here.
My step-aunt was almost a pancake in the bridge collapse in SF, left work early that day for some reason, otherwise, she'd have been there...that's what made me freaky freaked by it.
We haven't felt any of the other aftershocks, thought there was one in the 4 something range.
I know...we're pussys.

5.2 is huge! Lucky not to have felt the aftershocks, and no, you're not pu$$ies! EQs are terrifying. You were in bed if I remember right so you stay there and ride it out. Anywhere else, get underneath something and protect your head. Your body can take blows and heal well, but the head is too fragile for the same types of impacts from things flying around. Forget the doorframe; get to a small area where there are a lot of walls and no glass/mirrors. Sit on the floor with your back to one wall and wedge your feet against the opposite wall and ride it out. A hallway or a stairway are good. When you know what to do, it's not as scary.
