And I slept through it...completely unaware.
I am convinced now that when/if the "big one" hits during my time here, and its while I'm sleeping....I'll never know

Nothing like sound sleep!
Wow, Luke....that's pretty amazing. SO did you wake up to things strewn about in your place?
We had a 5.4 up in Kodiak (very close to where I am). I slept through it as well. Every one was talking about it the next day but me. I guess the vibrations just make for a sound nap.
