Earthquake!

We had a small earthquake today. I haven’t checked the reports, but I’d guess it was only like a 4ish. Earthquakes don’t really scare me – I’m a native Californian – but there’s always that moment after you’ve realized, yes, you really are experiencing an earthquake, that you think “oh my god, is this the big one?”. Today, it wasn’t. I talked to someone on the phone right after and they said “that was kind of exciting!” and I said, yes, but it’s hard for me to be excited when I’m worrying if the epicenter is a 7 something somewhere and people’s lives are really being affected. Today, it wasn’t.
