Hi all,
Well I had my first medium size earthquake this evening. It was fun. It was a 4.2-4.3 centered about 6 miles away in the hills. It lasted about 5-10 seconds and katy thought our glass cabinets were going to fall over. I felt a few 3.x ones out here as well and those just sound bigger than they feel. They feel like a truck has driven into the building. This one did some good shaking. Here is our the shake map: USGS Shake Map
Ciao,
Michael

Oh no! That sounds very scary. Are you people safe? I thought the faults were closer to San Francisco itself. What do you do to protect yourself if there is an earthquake?
We have our own faults here :-). Accroding to Katy's mom you get on the floor, according to everyone else you get under a doorway. (remember Portals of the Past)
i remember my first one, i had no idea what it was!!! hopefully they don't get any more intense! atleast you guys can hold onto eachother!
the transplanted californians stained their shorts when the one epicentered near seattle shook us up a couple of years ago. the rest of us were just confused. we'll get a major one some day and we won't be able to think it's cool anymore.
glad you're all safe.
