not a whole lotta shakin' going on

but some.

An earthquake rocked me out of bed at about half past five this morning, making me scramble for shoes and a doorframe. I didn't feel any aftershocks.

According to the report on the daily paper's Web site (posted two hours later), there was a 4.2 quake in Santa Clara County at 5:24 A.M., with the epicenter approximately 10 miles northeast of Gilroy.

Although considered a "light" quake, I'm thinking it was pretty impressive as it woke me up and I could feel my house shake in the middle of the City so far from its origin way the hell over here.
