No one else did and I was in my ceramics class full of people. Now I live in San Diego and I still feel them all, even the minor ones. My dog sleeps through them. My earthquake backpack is an arms length away.

Walls and windows started vibrating/making noise. Figured it was an earthquake since it was vibrating too much to be a truck outside.

I read this article recently:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/18/2018-set-to-be-year-of-big-earthquakes

about an expected increase in earthquakes in 2018 due to the slowing rotation of the planet. The East Coast seems to be geologically quite stable, so this could be a reason.

But only in the periphery. Sitting here with a client and heard something but went on without noticing.
