MAGNITUDE WAS: 5.0

Oldie San Franciscan here was close, damn close.

5.0 is not B.S.

16. oh thanks, that answers my question

I still did not feel it.

[arcane1]

29. I can't remember the last time I felt an earthquake, and that's somewhat disappointing.

My current workplace and residence are too retrofitted, or something. During my first few years here, I felt pretty much ALL of them.

It's been probably almost 10 years now

But I guess that's better than noticing one that makes my ceiling fall on me!

[yuiyoshida]

30. Well, if you look at the USGS Map...there are

micro quakes constantly in the bay area, nearly every day. Now I don't know if this is true, but someone once said that was a good thing because all those little micro quakes makes it less likely that a larger one will be along any time soon. Not sure I buy into that, but so far... the last big quake was in 1989 in the Bay Area, before that...was the 1906 earthquake...(I am not counting the Los Angeles Quakes but only for Northen California) anyway...that is a long span between the Big ones.

Again.. it might be just wishful thinking, but if that is in anyway true...I hope we continue to have little ones...

[arcane1]

40. I can live with that!

[Warpy]

8. Try to have your quakes from 9-5 EDT Monday - Friday

That way they'll get posted by the few people who are there.

[yuiyoshida]

9. What time was this??

I did not feel a thing... I think what upsets me more is what you stated:

Due to a lapse in Federal funding, the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program has suspended most of its operations. While the USGS will continue to monitor and report on earthquake activity, the accuracy or timeliness of some earthquake information products, as well as the availability or functionality of some web pages, could be affected by our reduced level of operation.

Hopefully by Monday...we will get our USGS back.

[yuiyoshida]

17. oh okay thanks...

I am down in the bay Area, so I did not notice it, other than the normal little shaking we get when Buses and MUNI light rail trains go by.

[yuiyoshida]

23. 7.0 IS bad....

That was the Loma Prieta in 1989... I hope to never go though that again.

[pinto]

28. What nuke plant is that? I'm only aware of 2 in CA, Diablo and San Onofre.

Thanks.

[REP]

33. *I'm* up in the redwoods ...

actually on Loma Prieta ... I see it was actually way up north, because a 5.0 up here I'd probably notice

[REP]

38. Found the earthquake location ....

... the description of the area had me a bit nervous (in addition to the 103 fever I'm running)

plus you can see the epicenter of the 1989 quake from my porch.

[CountAllVotes]

39. Yikes!

Apparently the epicenter was in Trinidad, a small coastal town/village north of where I now live.

They've had earthquakes there many times but are frequent the close you get to Petrolia (a place you could not pay me to live).

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I heard the flu is going around already this year.

Get well soon!!

[PoliticAverse]

11. Also check this map from the Southern California Earthquake Center...

18. Yep that's it ... triple plate going again

Mean batch of faults are in the same place ... out at sea.

When I just googled earthquakes today

[NV Whino]

19. 5.0 WNW of Eureka

Is what my earthquake app said.

[kestrel91316]

21. Eureka just had a 4.9

[KoKo]

22. Thanks for Posting this...and hope you stay safe! n/t

[randome]

24. There's a bigger fault zone in Washington!

If that makes you feel any better.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[CountAllVotes]

26. ugh

You have my condolences, believe me!

[Cleita]

27. Stay safe and keep us posted.

From a fellow Californian here.

[icymist]

One offshore at 4.9 and one in Northern California at 5.0.

34. I'm glad it doesn't appear to be serious

Time to relax and enjoy...

[CountAllVotes]

37. lol ...

Still no word so I guess it was just a good shake and lets hope there won't be anymore for a long long time!

[moriah]

36. I've still been getting my Earthquake Notification Service alerts.

See if you can sign up for your location, if you haven't already. I have it limited to show anything over a 2 nearby, but a 6 outside of my seismic zone (New Madrid area).

[uppityperson]

41. Yup, USGS, NOAA, all that sort of stuff. ARGH.
