I am guessing a 4.0 but can't see anything on USGS

We have one of those reclining/massaging beds. It makes it harder to feel earthquakes now...

+1
Though it was pretty weak by the time it made it to me. The only reason I noticed it was I was laying in bed and everyone else was asleep.

Who farted?Today's scientists understand earthquakes a lot better than we did even 50 years ago, but they still can't match the quake-predicting prowess of the common toad (Bufo bufo), which can detect seismic activity days in advance of a quake.
A 2010 study published in Journal of Zoology found that 96 percent of male toads in a population abandoned their breeding site five days before the earthquake that struck L'Aquila, Italy, in 2009, about 46 miles (74 kilometers) away.
Researchers aren't quite sure how the toads do this, but it's believed that they can detect subtle signs, such as the release of gases and charged particles, that may occur before a quake [source: Science Daily].
