It hit @ 8:04pm and there were not a lot of people in the building which is why I got out so quickly (plus I used to run track and running stairs was part of the training). It was registered 5.6 and on the Calavaris Fault. Not here in the city but there have be several after shocks too.

I felt it!

I was at home and it was rather intense there so I was quite glad I wasn't at work. I heard it maybe a split second before the shaking started. The rumble of the actual house shaking and things inside moving. When the house didn't stop shaking, I bolted for a doorway (door jam) until it stopped. What gets me is the waiting for possible aftershocks. Every time I hear something that I can't right away recognize, say a large truck going by outside, my adrenalin started pumping thinking it might be an aftershock. It usually takes a while before I stop reacting to normal sounds thinking it's another quake.
