Earthquake!!
Just got home from work. We had a 3.7 quake here about 8:30. The epicenter was near Sunol about two miles from my office. I'm up on the third floor and woo hoo what a ride!

Any other East Bay DUers feel it?

1. My dear bluesbassman!
Ah, it's your turn!

Maybe all that rain loosened up the faults?

:scared:

2. Hey Peggy.
Yeah we got dumped on today, so that could be true. You guys get a lot of rain too?

8. It's funny but if you're near the epicenter
an earthquake feels huge. I remember an earthquake that registered 2.5 but everything spilled out of the cabinets and the pictures all went crooked, because the epicenter was literally right under my house. Did you see this earthquake post a couple of days ago?

11. Out at the beach, all quakes feel huge. My building
is a squat woodframed deal that gives nicely but it feels like it's sitting on tall jello.
