Looking at above map, you can imagine that this probably woke Glen up. I was already up, of course. :)

Whole house moved back and forth. We are at least 25 miles from epicenter. My friend, Diana lives there. First one Nick can remember because that was pretty big and lasted a while. Wayne slept through it. :)

The epicenter was in American Canyon. If you look at the map you can see that it's about 16 miles from Glen and about 26 miles from us. I wouldn't be surprised if Loretta them felt it a little bit because it was a big one. It literally felt like someone was moving the house back and forth. You feel helpless. I told Nick to get under a doorway because he was upstairs. I was downstairs watching tv. Wayne never woke up. :)
Glen said it felt like a giant was shaking her bed. She woke up.
Right after it happened I heard sirens. Sometimes people have heart attacks, but they also are suppose to call if they smell gas.
My friend Diana lives in American Canyon. It woke her up and she said things were falling. Her husband said the garage was a mess. Her daughter who is Nick's age was scared and her dog was scared. Also Dodye lives pretty close to this. They are all okay. Derrick lives pretty near also and his family is fine.
