When I lived in Union City, I lived about 50 yards off the Hayward Fault. Funny thing is, the records indicated that it was not in a high risk fault zone, nor a liquifaction zone. Go figure.
Get yer beach front property in Napa.....
Didn't feel it in South San Jose.
Oh yeah, we felt it big time here. We're in east Santa Rosa, just 3 miles north west of the epicenter in Glenn Ellen. The quake hit with a good BANG and then RATTLE RATTLE for five or so seconds thereafter. Certainly got our adrenaline pumping!
It was small all and all though, and hopefully it wasn't a precursor for something bigger.
Dam you guys have all the fun......When's the next one?
We dont typically feel them in Bonny Doon. We are sitting on a bunch of granite and limestone. No shaking here.
i was in the middle of a kart race -- didn't feel a thing.
I was reading stories to Ben at the time.... gentle rocking motion her in SF - only lasted about 5 seconds, but my wife was on the phone at the same time and some fucker rang the doorbell and legged it - twice - and the dog went apeshit - so there was about 5 minutes of utter chaos here.
3.8 in Portland last night.
do you think the whole coast might be ready to go?
yes, the west coast mountains are acually getting higher, right?
I forgot the number of years they say it will take for L.A. to get here at an inch or so a year.
I don't enjoy earthquakes like I used to before 1989.

Kylie and I were eating dinnner at Red Lobster *IN* Rohnert Park. Freaky for about 5 seconds... I moved up just in time!!
What did you expect, we've had earthquake weather for three weeks now
The pacific plate west of the san andreas fault is trying to go north.
The continental plate is trying to stay still. The pacific plate pushes up against the continental plate but because the fault is angled it results in a compression/slide slip fault.
It hangs up for a long time and then goes bang.
Eventually in 100 million years or so (guess) the land west of the san andreas will be up around alaska.
It won't fall off into the ocean, it will just keep moving north. If san Francisco times it right they will beat the global warming thing
We were watching Survivor rerun at the time. They had a quake on the TV and then we had one. very strange.
Cheers
the 1:30am quake up in our area was centered around the battle ground, washington area, just outside vancouver. it was a good little jostle, woke us up too!

Yeah we felt that 3.8-4.0 at 1:30 this morning and also an aftershock at 3:20am
We are in La Center
nothing here, THIS time......
I felt the last 'big one' here in Phoenix though, the one that dropped some of the freeway sections in San Francisco, IIRC.
It was early in the morning, it felt like someone had dropped a safe or something right outside our house. I flipped on the television, it took the 'news' about twenty minutes to catch up. A pal of mine who lives nearby here reported the water sloshing out of his 'built-in' pool.

P.S. Hard to believe but true.
Oh, of course, you are right, Dave.
This quake was at about 5 a.m. here and the sun was up already, so it had to be summertime here.
John
P.S. I guess I did not recall that one correctly.
