So you're lying there in bed, enjoying a relaxing day off. When you hear this odd low rumble. Then you fell this odd back and forth rolling motion. You notice that the stack of boxes next to your bed are rocking back and forth. This experence lasts for about 3 seconds, maybe 4. You ask yourself if this was real, or just a dream. Being a nerd, you instantly hop on the computer, and look up the USGS. You find no information about an earthquake. Could you have been dreaming the whole thing? You check their twitter feed, and BOOM; a 5.9 earthquake pops up. Woot I was right. Strange I was able to feel it a few hundred miles away, but there are reports popping up from much farther away than me. No damage, but I am experencing a cell phone issue. Many of my texts are not sending due to Network outage, and I have had calls not go through due to "Busy signal".

Nothing really moved in my room, but I could feel the house moving. My roommate couldn't feel it at all.

Only a 5.9? I sleep thru those. It's a California thing ;)

OP
Oddly a 5.9 on the east coast travels 10 times farther than one on the west coast. There were reports of ground shaking as far north as Canada. Something to do with the type of rock in the ground.
