Just felt the building shake...chimes shaked like crazy for a few secs. Live on the 15th (top) floor of a building, so maybe feels bigger than it actually is. :p

I'll never understand that mentality. :p I've lived in California for 20+ years and I've only ever felt maybe 6 or 7 earthquakes and none of them have been at all destructive.
I think it's all about not understanding the natural disasters in other parts of the country. I've never lived where there are hurricanes/tornados/floods and they scare me half to death. :) |

It's not like a hurricane can actually stop me. I was stranded somewhere during Jeanne in September of last year and had to walk home in the middle of it, and it was a Category 2. The only thing I was afraid of was my cell phone getting wet. I got home a soaken mess but my phone was just fine. :) Hurricanes are more of an inconvienience than anything nowadays to me. |

| It was in Oakland right? My roommate just told me about that because she spent the night in Oakland last night... I live in d/t SF, I didn't feel anything at all, and I'm the lightest sleeper on earth. |

Yeah, it was in Berkely or something. I live in SF, too...right against Japantow and I felt it...but I was awake...it lasted about 2 seconds.

Oh... Have you been living here long? Are there a lot of "feel-able" earthquakes? |
