Hope things are OK. How bad is/was it?

Hopefully you weren't about to open a beer. ;-)

Where? How big?

Only 4.5, but felt like the first couple seconds of the one in 1989.

Wow thats ironic. I was just watching a show on Public Television about the 89 Quake in SF....

Yikes. Was just talking about SF and quakes today at work. My bosses daughter lives there and my niece just returned to NC from ballet school in SF...thank goodness!

Hope it settles down.

Holy crap! A toxic chemical spill in Wisconsin! Could this be the end of cheese? ...or will it mutate into something... something... um...

That's the last thing you want. Lots and lots of little quakes is what we want. Relieve all the built up stress so we don't have huge quakes.

I grew up in the Bay Area and lived North of San Fran during the 89 quake, but I was visiting my girlfriend in Colorado when it happened. Then in 2000, we had a siginificant quake in Seattle. ...but I was working on a consulting project in Northern Cal.

Stick with me and you'll surely be safe. ...from the earthquake anyway.

Okay, now we know where it's safe - from earthquakes that is.

I'll get back in my rocking chair now...

Quite strong by SFSU. I would have thought it was stronger than reported. It was kind of amusing, we kept looking at each other saying, still going. The shaking lasted a good long time.

I live right by SFSU and didn't even notice it until they interrupted "House" with a news break. It might have had something to do with the fact that I had a 7-year-old bouncing up and down on my stomach at the time. Hey, maybe we caused it!

LOL.. the first time I experienced an earthquake up here in Seattle, I thought it WAS my kids jumping off there beds, and yelled up to them to cut it out...

When I was in the Air Force and was stationed at Vandenburg AFB near Lopoc, we not only had the occasional earthquakes, but we also launched off the big Titan rockets that felt just like an earthquake. My wife, who was in the Alaska Quake in 1964 use to freak out each time until I told her to just kep telling herself "It's only a rocket launch, it's only a rocket launch". This worked most of the time until someone would call her and ask if she felt the earthquake. LOL! 7.2 is the biggest I've been in, up in Alaska. They don't shake up there, they roll... just like being on a boat in the ocean in big swells.
