My wife said to me a couple moments ago, "At 7:38 I felt a tremor. Did we have an earthquake?"
When the Northridge Quake hit, I slept through it. My wife, meanwhile, notices me cough in my office while she's asleep on the other side of the house. Curious if she was right about a quake a couple hours ago, I checked, and I'll be darn if I find out that at 7:38 pm a small earthquake rattled our area.
The trembler was a 3.7 magnitude, centering around the San Jacintto area about a half hour drive northeast of where we live. The depth of the quake was a little more than 8 miles.
There have been no immediate reports of injuries or damages.
According to NBC News, the earthquake was called short, a gentle roller, and loud. One resident said on Facebook that they heard it before they felt it.
