Earthquake about 5 minutes ago
We just had a pretty strong earthquake a few minutes ago that had the ceiling fans swinging around and everything in the kitchen cabinets clanking. After checking for gas leaks, the fireplace for obvious damage, and the garage to make sure nothing fell from the rafters onto the car all is fine here. Nothing fell from the cabinets with this earthquake and no broken windows. This is pretty good for the shake we had. It lasted about 15 or 20 seconds at least and ended with a good jolt. Now I guess I'm going to worry about the RV all night and whether or not it rolled around in the hanger and bumped into the 172 I share the space with.

Bryan,
I hope all is well. Please keep us posted in the AM, when you go see your baby! I'm glad to hear that you and your family are safe and sound.

Same here Bryan. I was sitting on the couch feeding our little one a bottle before her bed time when both my wife and I looked at each other with eyes as big as saucers when the shaking started. My wife's grandmother, who is visiting from VA, came running out of her bedroom with a look of total shock. I hope everything is OK in your hangar.

Yep - this one was just large enough that we figured it was a good time to go outside.  |

5.6? childs play! I was working at LLNL(Livermore) during the 7.3 Bay area quake of '89. The Laser's shutdown before we even felt anything, once it started rocking we went outside and the ground looked like a bowl of jello.
Tha was Sad day for many. Hope all is well today

I was at the Stockton Arena. We were in our seats and got one short jolt, like someone very large sat down abruptly. Most people there didn't even notice.

Walking around SF, didn't feel a thing, although I guess we're one of the few.
Shoot, would've loved to have expereinced such a small jolt before we left.
We did have a 5.3 in White Plains, NY the day my oldest son was born. Looking back, that was just the "pre game show" with him.

Between the fires, earthquakes and Hollywood it boggles my mine as to why anyone would live on the left coast.
Hope all is well with y'all

It's the year-round weather, IMHO. We call it the "weather tax".
