2.9? Geez people are getting soft!
Yawn slow news day?
Should have been a 9.2 and included Berkeley.
No brimstone?
This story is designed to help keep folks from “flyover country” away from California so they don’t take the jobs the illegal alien’s are angling for.
“Well, ya kin rule out Calee-four-nye-eh, Ma; th’ ground out there’s a-fixin’ ta swaller all ‘em heathens right up ‘n’ we don’t wanna get caught in amongst ‘em.”
Shame it wasn’t a 9.2. :P
In the past 24 hours, there has been a bit of a cluster of small quakes in that area.
And I not getting soft that is my reserve cushion.

1989 quake. My brother and I were home, in downstairs area. We still had rabbit ear antenna for some of the house. It was the 2nd game of the World Series, a few minutes after 5pm. I noticed the antenna start to move. We moved to under the door jam. We felt the beginning of the quake, and then the wave that brought down freeways and bridges came through. I had my hands holding onto the door jam. The house came out of my hands. We went outside and it looked as if the world had jumped up and down, dust in the atmosphere. I will also never forget the look on AL Michael’s face. He was in the booth at the ballpark.
Re: 2.9...growing up south of San Francisco, even a 4.0 was not disturbing. It was fun to lie on the ground (away from any structures, and experience the 4.0 and less.
PS. I loved to tweak the liberal wackos when they would try to discuss earthquakes. I would explain that a good deal of oil and natural gas was released from deep down in the Earth, and easier for us to harvest it.
a 2.9 quake doesn’t “shake” - it vibrates almost imperceptibly.
Texas has been rattling a bit...
But that’s not making the news...
People live in lots of places that’s even stupider.
Like San Salvador, capital of El Salvador, built on the doorstep of the (active) Ilopango volcano.
Which is like having a neighbor with a pit bull. It might not bite you for a thousand years, but eventually you know it will, and when it does it’ll tear your face off. It’s just matter of time, because that’s what volcanoes (and pit bulls) do.
Maybe God will transpose those digits next time and get rid of a major boil on America’s behind.
Pffft!! A 2.9 earthquake. That is nothing.
I have trucks rumbling by on my street that shake the building.
A 2.9 earthquake would not even register.
A 4.5 hit Sonoma County yesterday
Followed a few seconds later by a 3.4 or so.
Not a bad shake. Fairly gentle.
