Who else felt it? Around 4am, a 4.4 earthquake scared the crap out of me as I was about to head downstairs and leave for work. Oddly enough, I ran to my PS3 first to ensure it hadn't fallen over.

"The magnitude-4.4 quake, centered about 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, struck shortly after 4 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey."

Last night I had to go to the restroom a few times (stomach ache). When I woke up due to the earthquake I thought to myself "again?"

I slept right through it. Once I saw the news, I checked the garage to make sure nothing had fallen on the cars. All was good.

i don't think I've ever felt an earthquake my whole life yet.... live in the 91011 area near Angeles Crest. Maybe the mountain has got to do something with it

Dude, is it weird that I woke up for no reason a couple minutes before the earthquake happened? I think I have the 6th sense. Anyways, couldn't go to sleep after, sucks.

4.4 hit at 4:04 am.... That’s weird!!!!

It woke us up before the alarm went off... Also, woke up my little one ...

I heard the neighborhood dogs start to bark seconds before it happened and then they went on barking for a few minutes afterward..

My baby cousin woke up from the earthquake, while i was still fast asleep. She crawled into bed with me, crying and scared. I turned on the tv to calm her down. Good thing Dora's on tv at 4 in the morning!
