2 miles ESE of Santa Monica, CA OCT 22 2005 20:42:16 PDT

Jen and I were in the living room of our apartment this evening when I got my earthquake. It was a measily magnitude 3.0, but the epicenter was only about two miles away (right at the Santa Monica regional airport, it seems).

The cat freaked and jumped off the couch, my glass fell off the end table, and a few CD cases shifted around. Otherwise, there was the nice rolling bang.

Jen and I looked around confused for a moment, but I was finally able to raise my hands and exclaim, "Earthquake!"
