Did anyone else feel a possible earthquake around 4:40am on Friday, Apr 18th? I know it's not just my imagination, but not expected around here

Yep! Sure did. Also felt the 4.5 after shock around 10 or so this morning. Pretty freaky. I wonder if there's more to come. They say aftershocks are expected. But, 4.5? Also, the news stated that this lessens the chance of a very serious earthquake from happening since the one this morning was actually relieving the pressure underground. Still, they state it's not fool proof.
