Current Earthquake Magnitude Level: FUN! (Odd Musings)
That was one of the bigger jolts I've ever felt. Preliminary reports say the quake was about a 5.0 and centered up near Oakland. More Info.
Oh, now they are saying it is a 4.1. I would think it would have been bigger for me to feel this much movement 40 miles away. Ha! Now they are downgrading it to a 3.9 :). Jeesh! It seems like I'm always sitting on the couch when these earthquakes hit, maybe I should get off this couch more often. The couch shook a little, and everything creaked a little, but nothing fell off the walls.
This quake will be forgotten by tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, it was cool. I was slightly alarmed though, on account of having no f-ing clue what I would have done if it had gotten worse.

Earthquakes in CA, hurricanes in the Gulf... this is making me pleased to live there is nothing more exciting than a severe thunderstorm warning during the month of September.
I'm very glad it wasn't worse for everyone over there!

Don't be silly, kiosk. You would have stood in a doorway and tried to convince yourself that even if you had 3 days' worth of water in the garage, after a major earthquake you wouldn't have been able to get to it anyway.
