Just a minute ago. It didn’t wake the kids up, but it was a reasonably long one.
I went into the kitchen where Craig was making dinner and he didn’t even notice it was happening. I mentioned it might be a good idea for him to put down the giant chef’s knife he was using to point out the swaying fruit basket.
Ah, California.
I remember earthquakes… ah, memories.
Glad it was just a little one!
“put down the giant chef’s knife he was using to point out the swaying fruit basket.”
Glad you and your fruit are all still there.
we felt it here in manteca too. the “natives” are freaked out. the BATS (bay area transfers) are just shrugging at the little bit of rolling. it was near alum rock area in san jose and “only 5.7 according to the local news.
hope nothing broke in your neck of the woods.
Glad you’re ok. I just scanned the news, and stopped by to check.
That’s crazy!
My favorite part of it? That we now have a heightened risk on the Hayward fault for the next 24 hours or so. Better check my earthquake insurance again!
I don;t know, I think your husband might have been onto something. I remember having earthquake saftey training when I was a kid in California and the three tips I remember were: 1) Take cover in a doorway 2) Fill a bathtub with fresh water 3) Pick up a large knife.
Now that I think about it, a couple of those might have been what to do if there’s a zombie invasion.
Happy Halloween!
Never experienced an earthquake. I don’t think I’d relish it.
I can barely handle tornados…
I was awakened by an earthquake once when I lived in Tennessee! Scared me to death!
Wow, I’ve never experienced an earthquake.
I’d probably poop a little.
One thing I’m not missing about living on the east coast. Granted now I worry about hurricanes and tornadoes. Hope nothing broke.
Wow, I’m not sure I could handle things like this. I think my nerves would always be on edge. Do most people love CA so much that they don’t mind dealing with the occasional earthquake and fire? I’ve had several friends move from CA but many of them moved due to crowding issues. It must be a different kind of world way out there.
Glad you and your family are ok.
