5.4

I experienced my first Earthquake, and yes it was actually quite scary. Not being from California, I had only heard about these earthquakes and you always think, oh it can't be too bad. Take it from me when you are on the 3rd story of a 7 floor hospital, it can be rather scary. I was working with one of my reps in the about 15-20 miles from the epicenter, and we were standing in the lobby of an obgyn's office. The ground started shaking, which is really a weird sensation. It felt like a really bumpy elevator, but the whole building shook. One of the nurses yelled "earthquake" and we all darted into the stairwell, apparently the whole doorway thing is overrated. It lasted about 30 seconds then we evacuated the building. At least I can say I have felt my first California quake, 5.4 not bad. The best was I called Mackenzie, to see if she was okay and to let her know I was fine. She responded "what we had an earthquake"
