Quaking in the Bay Area....

<p>Mother Nature gave us a nice jolt out of bed half an hour ago!<br>
Supposedly “only” a 4.0…but it sure felt stronger than that…</p>

2

<p>Yeah…I thought it was pretty strong. A lot of shaking going on.</p>

<p>But it did not last long.</p>

3

<p>Fox is reporting 5.6. Rush loses 7th advertiser!</p>

<p>My daughter’s at the conservatory…haven’t talked to her yet. Her recital is wed so She and I fly to SF in the morning. Save me a tiny aftershock …never been in an earthquake…</p>

5

<p>It’s kind of cool…as long as it ends well :).</p>

<p>Argh…can’t edit from phone…hubby os the one going with me.</p>

<p>It woke my daughter up… Consider posting here: [M2.9</a> – San Francisco Bay Area, California](<a href=“Did You Feel It?”>Did You Feel It?)</p>

<p>Well my DS was waiting for his first quake since moving there. Hope everyone is ok.</p>

<p>Heh, when a 5.8 “rocked” the East Coast, there was pandemonium. A similar earthquake hits the Bay Area and people say “did you feel that?” :p</p>

10

<p>LOL DS’s girlfriend was awakened by it but he doesnt remember it.</p>

11

<p>Phantasmagoric—that’s because a 5.0 earthquake is ten times bigger than a 4.0 earthquake. Someone else needs to do the math on a 5.8! :)</p>

12

<p>Darn it, I’m apparently getting jaded. Didn’t feel a thing.</p>

13

<p>Daughter reports sleeping through it.</p>

14

<p>Wow, d and I were there for the weekend. Just missed it!</p>

15

<p>S1 is in Livermore for the week. He said he slept through it, and heard that it wasn’t really felt there. Knowing what a sound sleeper he is, I wasn’t surprised that he slept through it.</p>

<p>DH and S2 experienced an earthquake in St. Louis in 2008. That one woke them up.</p>

16

<p>Earthquakes aren’t bad. We had them up in montana. Tbh, since we lived by train tracks we never felt them (or rather, we thought they were just a train). Didn’t know till it was reported on the news.</p>

17

<p>Well not ALL earthquakes are bad. They can be HORRIBLE. Try being on the 25th floor during a 6.4 or try this

<p>If you are in the epicenter of a 6.1 asleep, the “train” sounds as if it is going thru your room, not somewhere in the distance.(that has something to do with the grand piano jumping across the floor in the next room)</p>

<p>but I will agree, a 4.0 is not that bad</p>

<p>It’s hard to believe that the Japanese earthquake and tsunami happened a year ago.</p>
