Sadie, I am a native Californian too and tend to shake them off, pardon the pun. But, I know when one is near the epicenter even 4's can be unnerving.
Glad you are okay.
I was young when the 1964 Alaska earthquake struck. But, I remember hearing about the tsunami that followed it. As a kindergartener a 6.X struck near us and did damage to our school. Our teacher was so incredibly calm and collected. We had drilled for such things and all of us dropped, covered beneath our little desks, held onto them and rode it out. I can still remember peering from beneath my desk at my teacher as she calmly spoke to us and rode the earthquake out from beneath her desk. When the shaking stopped we retreated outdoors. I don't remember for certain; but, I do believe we were all sent home while damage was assessed at the school.
