9. I agree. Felt stronger than 3.2 to me.

But maybe that is because I'm ON EDGE anyway, what with the pResident of the US sending the weekend in some BUNKER IN COLORADO "riding out" a hurricane (BS). Thanks for the info!

11. Yeah

I don't want to reach for the foil wrap and fashion myself a chapeau just yet..but it is strange. I'm on edge too, a president who possibly could have fallen off more than his bicycle, and has his finger on the nuke button, what's more powerful than that to a guy that craves power, and wants to best Daddy?
and boy did it feel stronger, and it seemed like it wasn't so much the ground as a force hitting my bldg.

[Beam Me Up]

12. Yes. One big BUMP. On the Hayward fault, I assume. n/t

[radfringe]

7. what a coincidence

we just got the DVDs for Tales of the City, More tales, further tales... planned on watching them this weekend...

[LordshipLadyship]

8. well....

could you people that are watching, QUIT that? :evilgrin: Very Twilight Zoneish (I loved Tales of the City when it was originally aired)

[WCGreen]

10. I'm reading it.....

I loved the original......

LAura Linley was discovered......

13. Slept through that one.

Based on the shaking intensity map it looks like most people in the East Bay did too. There are very few responses on the intensity survey.

It does look like it was a Hayward bump.

14. Slept through it

South of San Jose.

15. I slept through it in Los Altos...

16. We live in the Monterey Bay area and we did not feel it, BUT

we did have a quake here just last week that woke us up. It was a 3.1 and felt like more of a rolling one...

Hmmm...I'm hoping these quakes are simply releasing stress and not a precursor to something bigger...

Interestingly, the SF Chronicle just recently did a several part series on earthquake preparedness. It was mentioned in one of the articles that the Bay Area has a 62% chance of an earthquake of 6.7 or more anytime within the next 30 years.

The bottom line is: BE PREPARED! Because it's obvious our damn government isn't gonna be able to help us out...at least for those crucial first several days. :eyes:

18. I woke up about 20 seconds before it happened

Don't know why, but I was having a dream and suddenly I was awake. I lay there for less than a minute and I heard a distant rumble, then BANG. It was very short. I did have to pee so maybe it was coincidence.

I wonder if I'm developing that animal prediction kind of sense thing.
