Just had a 5.6 earthquake here in the Bay Area

I'm glad it was not a bigger one. I seem to remember it's a good thing to have some smaller earthquakes so it's not storing up for big ones. Something like that. My science is very fuzzy--my degree is in Literature.

When I was in college I lived near a little-known fault line in southeast Missouri. We had something like a 4.2 one morning while I was still in bed. It was enough that we felt our beds shake but that was it. Freaky. But that's my only experience with earthquakes.

I am thankful to read all is well in spite of the quake.

Laurie - I got a "MOOOOMMMMM!" from her when I told her I told everyone. Too funny.

It's the talk of the town today. I guess this is the biggest quake we've had since 1989.
 
I heard about this first thing this morning. I am thrilled that it didn't cause any injuries. We sure are having an interesting month...

I also remember when we we were stationed in Washington State at Fort Lewis. The house began moving and shaking, I grabbed my Cat and we sat on the stairway until it left.
Everyone then ran outside.
Scarey stuff.

It was my first earthquake since moving to the East Bay from Minnesota 15 months ago. I was terrified sitting in my house as it literally swayed for 15 seconds. That's just not right!!! But thankfully no one was hurt and no damage... all my Cathe DVDs remained soundly on the shelf. What a welcome to California... right now a good snowball fight sounds pretty good!
