Dang. We just felt a little shaking, looks like it was a sizable earthquake down by San Jose - that's a pretty long way for is to feel it here!
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I definitely felt it. I was in a team meeting when it hit and we all got to experience it together at slightly different times depending on where we were in the Bay Area.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

And it looks like there was an aftershock about five minutes later [link]

Thanks you guys! We have rain but no earthquakes. Which would be decidedly odd if we did, though it has happened before.

Our wings are not tired.
I've never felt an earthquake. My Philly raised first husband lived for a time on St. Thomas and his first earthquake his mind said 'subway going past', then remembered he was on an island, with no subways.
I'm thinking might be better ways to feel the earth move under my feet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Belated happies to Kate & happy birthday to brenda!
M called & asked if I had felt the quake - I just thought it was a big truck going by, since we have construction on 2 nearby streets. He was just getting into his truck in San Mateo & he said it felt like someone jumping on his hood.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only time I've felt an earthquake was in Austin, and it was far enough away that I barely noticed the closet door shaking.
