Yes, that was a 4.2 earthquake you felt or dreamt about at 1:53 a.m.
A light earthquake occurred at 1:53:43 AM (PDT) on Tuesday, October 16, 2007. The magnitude 4.2 event occurred 5 km (3 miles) N of Wrightwood, CA. The hypocentral depth is 3 km ( 2 miles).
The AP reports that "it was not immediately known if the quake had caused any damage or injuries."
We don't mean to nag, but here is your broken record moment of the night: Do you have at least 10 gallons of water stored per person (don't forget the dog!) in case of a major earthquake?

It woke me up. At first I thought I was dreaming because I don't know if you watch 90210 reruns on Soap Net like I do but the episode today was on a earthquake in LA and Brandon Walsh had to deliver a baby in an elevator.
October 17th is a date I know very well being a bay area girl and we are mighty close.
I am thinking that if I am insanely provoked in bed to arise and lets be real "freak out" though I have been a resident of southern Cali. for the majority of my life then it must have been more than a little shake! I mean seriously! I am not fond of them but even more so I am going on a camp out this weekend and we are leaving this Thursday night! Could ya take a guess where we are going to be staying? yep you hit it on the nail! Wrightwood California! I have to love it!!!
It has instigated beefy rounds of insomnia for me.
Can't wait for The Big One.
No, I don't really mean that. At all.
The Big One is going to be quite a ride, to say the least.
We may all die.
Osterizer--I too watched that ep of 90210, only I had it on right before bed (confession: I Tivo it daily, despite having seen them all countless times). My last sort of pre-slumber thought was: "Gee, we haven't had an earthquake in a while. Are we due for one?" When my walls started to shake at just before two this morning I had to laugh at the power of suggestion.
