Woke up to a jolt

Witness location : Corona (USA) (15 km NW from epicenter)

I experienced this quake as two separate jolts, the first less intense and the second about 3 times as strong. I was shocked to learn it measured only 4 on the Richter scale; I was guessing at least a 5. 

 Also aware that there have been several small temblors nearby over the last few days, and I am concerned this is a foreshock to a  much more serious event!!!!

We ALL fealt this earthquake, even our cat. I ran out of bed, racing to save all my “babies”. John began to stop me until the shaking stopped, I was worried about the shelves over the kids beds falling to hurt them. This lasted a good 5 seconds. After last nights Alaskan earthquake and tsunami scare we were all very worried about how far it would go. Afterwards, I re-aquainted all the kids on where to go, ( Its been a while since our last earthquake) reminded them to get in a safe spot and help each other. We expect a few after shocks because this was not the a-typical minor quake/feeling. Hope everyone else is oK. Im going to check on the rest of the outside & house damage now. Stay safe!
