Earthquake in San Jose

[Drako]

Any feel anything?

Maybe it's the fish tacos I had for lunch

Thought the workers were moving something heavy.
If that was an earthquake it was a baby one.

 

[schneiderguy]

Didn't feel anything :hmm:

 

[Drako]

Yeah, it felt small. I'm in a 7 story building near downtown, and I felt a bit of swaying.

 

[Patranus]

4.2 - Baby Quake.

Yep, was just looking at that. Looks like the Heyward fault.

Wasn't even big enough for me to feel here in Cupertino.

 

[olds]

OMG, I was right!

 

[Dirigible]

Three miles from my house. At that distance it gave me a good jolt even though it was small.

posted in the oldsmothread:

It was weak at 3.9, but it occurred ~1km from me. It was quick, but the room was certainly shaking for about 4 seconds. I've been in this building for 2 earthquakes (this place is a freaking fortress), and haven't felt stronger earthquakes.

Every body in the building was a bit shaken.... :hmm:


good thing they're working on the stadium.

 

[Slew Foot]

Didnt feel a thing

Precursor to the giant one. Nice knowing you all in NorCal.

I didn't feel it here. Sometimes we fell the "little" quakes in the bay...just a "bump"...but it depends on where it was...and often, where I am at the time.

Hell, there's been over 300 quakes in the bay area in the past week...

Most are so small no one even notices...

 

[Patranus]

Crazy. An even bigger one just hit.

 

[zinfamous]

whelp. there goes #2.

just felt in Albany. lasted about 3 seconds. maybe that was 5 seconds? I don't know. this shit really freaks me out. I much prefer hurricanes.

 

[mjrpes3]

Earthquake.... this one was like 10 seconds

 

[Imported]

Felt that one just now at home.. Was too far from the first.

 

[skim milk]

Felt another just a few minutes ago.

[MooMooCow]

Barely felt that one in Fremont, wouldn't have noticed it if the bookshelves upstairs didn't shake a little.

 

[benzylic]

OMG, I was right!

you're already more accurate than dave.

 

[schneiderguy]

Felt another just a few minutes ago.

Me too

 

[zinfamous]

reporting 3.9 again, same spot, pretty much. wild.


well, tomorrow is 10-21-11.

 

[SparkyJJO]

you're already more accurate than dave.

That doesn't take much

I was on the golf course and one of my partners said there was an earthquake, he felt stuff, said the trees were creaking. This was Tilden Park in the Berkeley Hills.

But there was a quake about 34 minutes ago that was very sharp here in Berkeley. Stuff fell off my walls and tore a piece of molding off at the ceiling/wall joint. Had me worried for a second that the Big One had come. USGS site says the epicenter was in Berkeley, 4.2.

This appears to be a cluster, just saying. There's a heightened risk of a big quake right now, but still unlikely.
