1. Felt it. Flipped to local news.......nada.
Although I'm sure the locals will be in non-stop mode in no time. Maybe even preempt the Super Bowl.

4. Felt nothing, nor did any of the dogs or cats as far as I could tell.
Unlike the Nisqually quake, when I was in a downtown high-rise that flopped back and forth like Rush Limbaugh's stringy nether-appendage in a tornado.

5. I live right near the epicenter and I woke up at exactly 5:25 am, but I wasn't aware of any shaking-
but that must have been what woke me up. I wish I would have felt it. Darn! It must not have lasted very long.
