5.4, not 5.8

Matilda just felt her first earthquake 5 minutes ago. It was while M & I were sitting at the table eating lunch and we felt it really strongly. Nothing fell down from anywhere but things were really rocking. M kept saying "This? This?" trying to get me to explain. I am sure the look on my face wasn't reassuring her any. We are all fine here now and she is walking around the apartment doing a little shake-shake dance. 

Edited to add: They downgraded the quake from a 5.8 to a 5.4. Which seems like a small difference but it sure was shaky compared to what I thought a 5.4 should feel like. As we sat down to dinner Matilda asked "earth shaking?" as if that were going to be a regular occurrence at our meals now.
