Mother Earth partied hearty. She treated us to a 5.0 just before midnight. (Okay, so they revised that downwards to a 4.9 or 4.7, depending on where you look.)
But, let me tell you this one shook so hard that it was hard to walk. Things fell out of the medicine cabinet and the chandelier swayed for ten minutes afterwards. Fortunately, none of the stained glass fell, none of the cupboards spilled their guts and we can't find any cracks or other damage.
Getting back to sleep was hard with aftershocks nipping at us for the next couple hours, but we managed to get a decent night's sleep (JR's cough medicine with codeine probably helped). Waking up was easy since Mother Earth sent a nice sharp jolt our way right after 7:30.
Can I just say I'm thrilled with the timing? It's a weekend and at night. Parents got to comfort the kindergartners instead of me this time!
