Anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area just feel that earthquake? I'm in Sunnyvale, and it felt like a 4....

KNBC: SLO Sheriff on; emergency center activated in that county.

FNC has moved on to Michael Jackson's *party*! Argh!

[cajungirl]

I'll take the cold any day. The ground shaking beneath your feet? That has got to be creepy,,like at any moment your world shakes.

[!1776!]

I'll deal. You can get shelter from the cold. There is no shelter when the earth beneath you goes unstable.

Wouldn't take long to get used to it. I've had the earth go unstable under my feat here also, but that was usually my fault, or budweisers.

Looks like we'll be in or close to the 40's most of the week (hi's). Not bad really - don't even need a coat.

Union Pacific railroad is checking tracks 100 miles north and south of Cuesta Grade in SLO....signals are dark (power outage)

[EggsAckley]

I'm with you. It's easy to tease about quakes, but none of the teasers want to feel what it's really like.

Did you feel it?

I'm in the Watsonville area and felt it BIG TIME. It went on and on..........

[rwfromkansas]

must not have been anything big......nothing on tv about it

[thesummerwind]

How is Rosebud?

[Drango]

and its really, really cold there.

I use to live (if you can call it that) in Iowa too and it stays cold for months...

Give me a good old California earthquake anytime.

[Solson]

What does it mean when they don't decrease in strength?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Fresno felt it.

Hmmm, I'm south of Fresno and didn't feel a thing.

[BenLurkin]

If only Art Modell was there at the epicenter . . . .

[mhking]

How is Rosebud?

The castle has been evacuated, and they're checking for structural damage. (per KNBC & KCBS/KCAL)

[shellylet]

Well, now that you mentioned "half". California would be half-empty if all of the illegals and terrorists left!!!
It would probably take care of our budget deficit too!

KFI 640 am radio...I just heard a fire being reported by the Bob Hope Airport, they're not sure if it's related. That would be interesting.
