If I'm reading the USGS report [0] correctly, it looks like this was a 3.8 magnitude earthquake with "light" shaking, which Wikipedia [1] describes as:
> Felt indoors by many, outdoors by few during the day. At night, some are awakened. Dishes, windows, and doors are disturbed; walls make cracking sounds. Sensations are like a heavy truck striking a building. Standing vehicles are rocked noticeably.
But the USGS website is fairly confusing, so I may be completely misinterpreting something here.
I think the universe is trying to tell you that whatever you wrote at that exact moment was fire. Or maybe the exact opposite, and the universe had to stop you instantly. That’s the annoying thing with the universe, one can’t ever really know with certainty what it meant, or even if it meant anything at all.
You have succinctly described the value proposition of divination books such as the I Ching.
By giving a vague answer to the question, the reader will, through their confirmation bias, become indirectly aware of their internal emotional process and if they should go ahead with a thing. Carl Jung explains it better, but as a skeptic I found it fascinating when I first learned of it.

A letter I've needed to write for a long time, but have been putting off.
