To be honest, I never knew about the 5.9 (or 6.2) magnitude earthquake that occurred at past 1 am today. I had my usual morning trip to the clinic at past 6 am and it was only then that I learned from the nurse that there was an earthquake. Wow, I thank God I lived to hear the news, considering that this was a stronger earthquake than that of the July 16, 1991 quake that was reported to have a more devastating effect. Those working on night shift and the night owls who were still awake felt it. So this one occurred while I was sleeping. Whew! Maybe it was better that way than being awakened by the shaking...
