Teensy little quake

The last several quakes I've felt have been centered very locally, so I was guessing that this one was maybe around a 3 -- just enough to make the bookshelves creak slightly. But evidently it was a 5-something down in the South Bay. The anecdotal commentary so far suggests the local effects were really variable. Perhaps some odd propagation patterns?

I felt the last "pulse" before the end, too. It was what made me wonder if I should get out of bed and do something more active about my situation ;-)

I know my neighbors' upstairs had something fall -- I heard it go over.

Of course, all the folks at work who lived nearer the epicenter had much more energetic stories to tell today.
