You know, I've been through countless earthquakes in CA, but this was the first time I was sitting on the toilet when it hit. I was waiting for the shower to warm up, and with the water running I didn't hear a thing. Just happily sat there playing electronic yahtzee (I hadn't gone outside to get the newspaper yet), and I thought, "Man, I need to tighten the bolts down on this toilet." No, just a moderate earthquake rolling through. I looked outside and saw the pool water sloshing around. The cats went kinda bonkers--they looked at me with their saucer eyes, "Holy s*#@ , what the hell was that?"
Yes, I have talking cats.
