Any word from Ex-Rat Chairman, Don Fouler, about whether or not God is doing this?

[Kevmo]

I didn’t feel anything in Silicon Valley

USGS map shows 4-5 located south of Concord, about Walnut Creek from the looks of it.

Will Nancy Pelosi be turned into a pillar of salt while SF is destroyed?

[gaijin]

I’m downtown in a cafe in the Mission District. I’m the only one here who even looked up.

[Roselani]

I felt it in San Ramon, and I did NOT like it!

[roadcat]

No, this one was exactly at 9:00 p.m. here on the West Coast. I was looking at my computer at the time it struck, and verified the time.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm okay. (In case anyone was interested.)

-PJ

[nmh]

Thanks!

Any damage?

[roadcat]

According to the USGS, it was 2 miles East NE of Alamo, California, at 9:00 p.m. and 15 seconds.

[valkyry1]

Ruh Ro!

Reminds me of that 5.0 we had in the San Bruno area about a month before Loma Prieta.

[inkling]

Any damage?

None here! (But I'm in Arizona ;-)

Hopefully everyone in the East Bay is fine.

[CE2949BB]

Did you feel it?

[nickcarraway]

You felt it?

[JoeDetweiler]

Did not even feel it in Oakland. This seems a funny sort of quake.

[Drango]

Hopefully everyone in the East Bay is fine.

4.2 doesn't bother us a bit....other than underwear damage. EWWWWWWWW fumigate 'em.

[ThomasThomas]

ALL! That me. No I did not feel it and I am OK.

Moreno Valley, CA

[inkling]

LOL!

[johnnycap]

Felt like a 3.8 in Emeryville/Berkeley.

[rivercat]

Earthquakes...yawn.

[bootless]

Ooh, you’re close! I used to live off Crow Cyn.

In Hayward tonight - one big jolt, felt like a truck hit the building.

[dr_who]

[beethovenfan]

Nothing in Sunnyvale.

[stlnative]

It has been named...

HurraMcCain Palin
I heard it will last at the very least 60 days and will continue to build strength as it rotates it’s way across the USA.

[racing fan]

Drudge Report - which has links to the national earthquake maps - look on the lower right side - says a magnitude 4.0

This time.

Next shock?

McCain-Palin wins any of the traditionally Democratic leaning counties in the Bay Area.

[antiunion person]

didn’t feel a thing in Hollister. and was planning a vacation in Parkfield.

[Patriot Babe]

Felt it here in Pacheco. Pretty good jolt. I was laying down watching TV when my bed was rocking back and forth. I immediately got up and ran outside to find other tenants were outside chatting about the tremor.

It has been a very very long time I haven’t felt one. I think the last time I felt something this strong was last year.

[Roselani]

Yeah, I am in between Crow Canyon and Norris Canyon. We’ve been here a looooong time!

[pbear8]

I’m just north of you and I didn’t feel anything.
