I have experienced many earthquakes in the past and I was never afraid before. This time I was frightened...The earthquake lasted more than usual, I rememmber thinking, "when is it gonna stop". Our dogs were also scared, all of them starting barking constantly, before and after each earthquake. We felt at least 6. The one that woke us up was the big one...scary night it was
