earthquake

did anyone just feel that earthquake? i was just sitting in my room posting and i was looking at the wall and all of a sudden my whole room jerked for a sec. my thinks on my drawer and wall swayed for a bit. i ran to the garage and asked if my dad do anything since he is working in the garage but he didn't. and now the news just said there was a 3.something quake centered around san ramon. my parents thought i was crazy (they didn't feel anything since where i'm at it was only a small "push")

hows everyone else?

BAY AREA (BCN) -- A series of small earthquakes rippled through the East Bay, but no damage or injuries have been reported.

A large temblor, given a preliminary magnitude of 3.9, occurred at 6:54 a.m. about two miles outside of San Ramon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. At 7:57 p.m. a 3.8 quake also struck.

The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District said it received a number of calls from citizens in San Ramon who felt the ground shake, but no problems were reported.

At the district's communications center in Danville, the temblor was not felt.

The Alameda County Sheriff's Department said it has not taken any calls about damage or injuries from the earthquake, nor from anyone who felt any shaking.

During the half hour following the 3.9 quake, 13 aftershocks moved through the ground under the San Ramon area. The largest of those temblors was listed with a magnitude of 2.6.

A.B. Wade, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Geological Survey, said earthquakes of less than 4.2 magnitude are not severe enough to prompt an alert of the survey's central bureau in Washington.

I didn't feel the one in the morning, but I felt a slight jolt earlier this evening. I just thought it was the trucks driving by near my house since it's near the 880 freeway.

IIRC, we're due for a macker here in the bay area any time now. I can't remember which fault it is though. Just remember to be safe (and prepared) when it happens!!

Actually, the fault that is over-due is up by Humbolt. Due for ~8+ magnitude if you got by geologic history...

Note to all Humbolt BAICers: Grab your "harvest" and get the fock outta there before you get sucked into a crevice.
