8. there was a 3.6 immediately before the 2.3...both

san leandro area

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. the 3.6 is not linking for the USGS site now

a 404 error, which is even more weird.

[Fresh_Start]

11. its working for me

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqscanv/FaultMaps/San_Francisco_eqs.html

the first jolt got me out of bed. Tomorrow is first day of school so we're in bed early

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Hmm it was weird

I got several 404 and now it is working... somewhere a packet got lost,

15. Looks like the Hayward Fault

That's the one that keeps emergency managers up at night.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Yeah... I remember that one from

those long nights on mutual aid planning...

I hope it stays weby, weby quiet.

[RandySF]

7. Shook the sofa.

And my beer.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. The important thing is that the beer is ok

:hi:

12. Felt it in the East Bay, but pretty mild -- just a couple of bumps.

The kind of earthquake I prefer.

[Adsos Letter]

16. Didn't feel it at all over the hill here in Cordelia...

Even better. :P

Not that I would have expected to feel one that small at this distance.

I was on the second storey of the student union building at SSU during Loma Prieta; THAT was a ride.

[Webster Green]

18. We didn't feel it up here in Sonoma County.

We did have a wildfire not too far away though. Helicopters and airplanes dropping water and fire retardant for hours. Got real noisy for awhile. It's that time of year in CA.

[RandySF]

19. Coincidentally, I start my NERT training next week.

The Neighborhood Emergency Response Team which is run by the Fire Department.
