Earthquake!

We finally experienced our first LA earthquake.  It woke us up just after midnight.  We felt it as a gentle shaking of the bed, looked at each other and said "Earthquake!" then promptly fell back asleep!

It was a magnitude 3.3 quake, almost directly under our feet (or backsides, since we were laying down).  Here's some info.  Literally, almost right under us, but about 10 miles down.

The site also lists all earthquakes within the last week (see here). When I looked at it, there were 34 earthquakes listed in the last week in Southern California within about 150 miles from here.
