“Bed shook briefly but noticeably, to the point that it almost felt like someone deliberately shaking the bed. The door rattled violently in its frame. I am upstairs and felt the earthquake distinctly enough to be awakened.”
A homeowner in Falls City, Washington, states:
“Was not long. But loud. It could have been the old house. Shook back and forth for a few seconds. Long enough to realize it was an earthquake and for me to jump from the bed into a doorway.
