I was in the hall, coming backfrom a potty run and the hall swayed and I ran into the wall.I almost fell but then I realized what in the world was going on. Gladly I staggered to bed ask itt was over.
The bang was the start of a roll that nauseatelingly odd moving of the earth and your building, the rattle a sound of the b uilding moving the rattle had come first. The epic center of the light quake was in Hunting beach about five miles from here. A startling fact they say that in the next fifty years this area will
have a 5 point earth quake.
I am so glad it was not a hard one and I doubt that it did any damage but they sure scare the be jabbers out of a person.To me at my age a fall is never good so I made sure I did not fall.

I think that this is just the beginning of a series, not only where you live about around the area.

@Hatley ......Yes, indeed. I wonder if the building you are in has any safe guards against earthquakes.

Feeling the building shake beneath your feet is pretty scarey. I am glad that you weren't seriously hurt.
Falls are not a good thing for anyone. If you have osteoporosis you need to be especially careful.

yeds it happened while I was walking in the hall and startled me so I ran i nto the wall, hung onto the walker and prayed please do not let me fall. I stood there while it shook as it rarely lasts over sixty seconds then got in bed. it was a very light one nobody hurt and no damages

Yikes!
Glad you are okay.
I never been in an earthquake where I felt it, but I remember hearing one when I was a teenager, it sounded just like a semi going down the road and where I lived, no trucks other than delivery trucks drove down my road.

I could never live in an earthquake area willingly, but Texas has sure been having a lot of them @Hatley . I believe ours is caused from 'fracking'; not that the oil companies would ever admit to it.
