I didn’t feel a thing here in Connecticut...
5.6 centered in alum rock district,, knbc 11 news cutting in.
Everyone’s ok here, it was the kids’ first real shaker. They’re kinda scared now.
First thread here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1918740/posts
You waited until the shaking stopped, dinncha?...
I hope all you FReepers in my former state are all OK! 20 seconds of shaking is a long time. I lived in Fremont CA during Loma Prieta, and I thought the shaking was never going to stop. I was terrified.
Don’t you just hate it when terra firma ain’t so ‘firma’?
You people can have all the quakes for my money. At least I can ‘see’ a Hurricane coming.
The only way you’d ever get me in California is if God himself picked me up and took me there. :)
Felt it in Atwater.
That was a long one. Wow. I’m in San Francisco.
Posted on the other thread, it shook the heck out of the NUMMI plant, but I called my wife in San Ramon and she didn’t feel a thing.
NUMMI plant was nearly on top of this one, could feel the building rolling a bit after the first big jolt.
Felt it in Alameda, near Oakland. Pretty good shake, no damage.
Thanks for the map.
I’d rather have a bunch of 5’s than one 9.8.
Let of some tension, San Andreas. Here, have a beer.
lol!
Yay. Just spent 10 minutes explaining plate tectonics to a 4 and 5 year old.
Fun ride down here in San Jose! :)
Felt it extremely stong in South San Francisco. Lots of violent shaking and creaking noises from the house. Stuff rattling around and swaying. Felt like a 6-something.
looks like a lot of phone disruptions w/cell phones,, probably had a few towers shook pretty good..
it was a good jolt here, we’re probably no more than 7 or 8 miles from epicentre. had a steady rolling / sliding motion for a good 15-20 seconds , very unsettling to say the least
Actually, I'm not. Had a big bad day at work today. They moved my cube and nothing worked in the new locations, then they gave me a new code behaviour that'll be tough to follow and maintain one's sanity. So, no, we're not all all right, dude!
