1. Everything OK?

My son lives in Oakland....I can't get use to all the shakes....I'm on an email list that alerts me (very neurotic, I know!) everytime there's a quake, however minor. Yinz guys have alot of them!!!!!

Hope all is well for you left coasties.

2. I can't imagine any probs with this one

Looks like epicenter is Oakland and it was only 4.1 Not a biggie. Just a little suprise. This was one of the fun quakes.

7. Fun quake

Exactly. It's hard to describe how these things are fun. East Coasters, it's kind of like a good thunder storm. No danger, a bit of drama.

3. All's well

A few CD's moved from their racks. Everything OK. Oaktown's fine. The thing might was probably just a few miles from my house.

a short hard jolt.

8. 2 earthquake threads! Woo-Hoo!

Hi Leftcoast! I don't know about you but I got a real 'bump' from that 4.1 -- I'm down at Market and Guerrero right now. Whew, just imagine that lasting for 13 - 15 seconds and you'll know the terror that was '89.

Best wishes! :hi:

14. 1989

Now that was a Quake!

I was working at Battery and Jackson at Bank of California. Our data center was there and we had a guy training from Seattle. The quake hit, I jumped under a table and we had these big check sorting machines that were rocking and rolling. After the shaking stopped I went over to my now shaken co-worker and he said .... "was that a....?" I replyed, "Oh yeah baby and it was a biggie!"

9. Anyone turned on the TV?

10. Nothing major reported

All clear!

11. Called my son

He's ok.........it knocked the phone off of the hook and rumbled his shelves a tad. He wanted to know how I knew so fast.......and....and I had to tell him about my email alert system. He laughed and said I was a good mom. I told him to sleep under the mattress with his bicycle helmet on. Sigh....only half kidding!
