Whoa, big earthquake in S.F. Bay Area. (not that big as it turns out)

About 1 minute ago. Did anyone else feel that?

1. where are you exactly?

My parents live in the area.

5. I'm in Berkeley.

My whole building shook, but yeah, I just got the report that it wasn't as major as it felt. Wow; it felt like Loma Prieta all over again.

2. I wouldn't call it 'big'

6. Wow...didn't feel anything up here in the north bay.

I live in fear of the Rogers' Creek fault, which runs about a mile behind where we live. :scared:

7. April 1st in Sacramento

we're having a get-together! You should come!

[Gormy Cuss]

8. East Bay... didn't feel it

Weird too, because I'm close enough(I-680 corridor.) Was it the hard slap kind, or the rumbling kind?

[darthmix]

9. Sort of a rolling-rumbling here

on the UC Berkeley Campus. It felt like it lasted a good two or three seconds.

10. Didn't feel it down here. n/t

11. I'm in the Inner Richmond...

Didn't feel a thing...

Centered near Orinda, east of you.

Hope there are no big ones this month - we're eating up all the canned food before moving overseas! :)

12. Cripes, no wonder you're moving

Inner Richmond. :scared:

[Yollam]

13. Hey, I like the fog!

But I bought an electric fan when me moved here, and haven't used it at all, so that was a waste of money. Even on days when it's kinda warm outside, the house still stays really cool. There's maybe only a week or two in summer when you can leave the windows open at night...


But I like that. In Japan, the summers are miserably hot and humid, temps don't go below 80 even at night. I don't look forward to that at all.

14. Are you perhaps confusing inner Richmond with the city of Richmond...

...over in the east bay? Inner Richmond is a lovely SF neighborhood (city of Richmond....not so much).

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Ah

The Richmond District near GGP. Very nice indeed.

I did think the reference was to the gang-ridden city across the bay, yes.
