At Around

1:30 this morning, I was sleeping quite soundly. Then I woke up for some reason. Moments later, I heard a boom and then the apartment building shook from side to side. Apparently this was an aftershock of the 4.7 earthquake late last night which was centered near Mogul, just west of Reno.

The funny thing about it is the dogs didn't act weird or anything; they slept through it! It was yours truly who woke up right before the aftershock.

Nothing was damaged in my apartment, but this recent series of quakes has got me worried.

More from the article:

An earthquake measuring 4.7 magnitude rattled the Reno area Friday night, waking up many people to find dinnerware knocked from shelves and structural damage to homes.

At least one 24-hour store closed so staff could restock shelves that had spilled onto the floor during the temblor that hit at 11:40 p.m. Emergency responders worked to stop a flume break near Mogul and, in some spots, clear rocks and boulders that shook loose from the sides of some roadways
Initial reports from the United States Geological Survey said the quake was based 2 miles east of Verdi. Estimations of the quake’s magnitude fluctuated throughout Friday night and after midnight today. The temblor was felt throughout the city and in Incline Village
