Finally, an interesting earthquake!

Yay! Big earthquake just went through! Well, it was probably a 4 or 5, but it lasted for several seconds, long enough to set furniture to rattling, and for me to think, Hm, something might fall on me. It was the first earthquake worth its salt I've felt since coming here 8.5 years ago! Like the earth twitching its hide to get irritations off. Something over near my desk was tapping rhythmically against the wall...

Lots of times I feel things that apparently aren't quakes... Up on a hill on the second story of a century-old wood house... Or maybe I'm just faint and tremulous myself. It's always nice to feel something that the USGS confirms. (The USGS says 3.7, for about 45 seconds.) I wonder if they'll confirm the tiny aftershocks I'm sensing?

We were driving up from San Jose on 101 and didn't feel it.

I felt it down here. First time I felt something, thought 'Was that a Quake?' and had it confirmed by the USGS.

Usually it's just gas. :)

This is one of those moments ....

where I would normally say something cheesy like, "Did the earth move for you, too?"

However, I'll refrain this time around. ;-)

Good. I'd have to throw a copy of Tapestry at you, otherwise. :)
