that’s the 1st time that i’ve felt an earthquake while sitting in a car.

in long beach, at a red light, and the front end of my car went up,

down.

i looked up to see the aluminum street lamps moving 3-4 like jello.

My wife said that she saw our car make a little dance in the driveway, when the earthquake hit.

That sounds like a very unsettling experience.

Years ago, I was sitting at a traffic light when a moderate sized quake hit. At first I thought someone had hit my car from behind. Then after looking in the rear-view mirror and seeing no other car, my attention was drawn forward and up and I noticed the traffic signal and street signs swinging.
