From 11:51 AM - 11:58 AM, when I was lying down in bed, the bed was intermittently rocking me. I was alone in the room, fully awake. There was basically no wind outside, no noise, and no large vehicles nearby (on a quiet road on the east side). This would have been the first earthquake I've felt, but online Earthquake reports don't show anything. So I don't know. I can't think of anything else that could rock the bed so much. It was like if someone was pushing on the side of the mattress.

I'm sorry, I was eating cheetos and fell off of the couch. That was the earthquake. 🤣
