This is our eighth trip to the left coast to visit the Riepls of California and we have finally experienced the true essence of living here. 4.5 on the Richter Scale. The earthquake was centered in Chatsworth which isn't too far from here and occurred at 12:58 last night. I went to bed at eleven and was sound asleep at the time, but was awakened by the house shaking. It only lasted for a couple seconds and then I went right back to sleep. There were no pictures falling off the wall or pipes exploding, just a rumbling and shaking. In the morning Kevin said that it was the most severe one they have experienced in the nearly six years out here. From looking at the site which lists recent earthquakes in CA, it appears that there were some aftershocks, but we all must have slept through them. We have another five or six days here and hopefully they will be shake free.
