Bay Area TREMORS Luckily I'm not close enough to San Ramon to feel the nonstop aftershocks, but I've felt 4 of the big aftershocks where I am in Oakland. Any other Bay Area Orgers a little freaked?
It really reminds you that we're just visitors on this planet, kickin' it for a while. In my day to day I forget that the earth is alive, you know?? And I'm constantly on the Bay Bridge, don't wanna get caught in the middle of a big earthquake on a friggin' bridge. The "experts" say Cali is gonna fall off into the ocean within 30 years anyway - I'm SCARED! I had enough in the quake of '89!  
Anybody ever been in a serious earthquake? Where were you? What happened? I don't know why I'm asking this, it's only gonna unnerve me more, lol... .

The quake of 89 scared the shit out of me. My mom is a bit nuts and actually took my sisters and me to tennis lessons that day, as they began 15 minutes after the quake happened. Needless to say only one other family showed up, even the instructor was nowhere to be found! This story always makes me laugh because this story so epitomizes my mother. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Didn't mean to scare you  They've been centered in San Ramon, small ones but MANY of them (aftershocks in the double digits). Depending on where you are you may not feel a thing (unless they get bigger, lol).
The freakiest thing about all these tremors: I can hear them 2 seconds before the shaking begins. :O I've never experienced that before, it's usually just out of the blue. Now I'm listening for them! I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Let's hope that they don't! I'll be in Fremont in about twelve hours, my house is about 4 minutes from the San Andreas fault line... ergh. My bf is going to be in Oakland, so I'll give him a heads-up on the tremors... Thanks for letting us know, Calhoun! I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

I haven't felt anything here in SF. My home was built in 1907 - that's a lot of shake-n'-bake over the past 100 years, and the structure is still standing!
On the other hand, I spend a lot of time on the Bay Bridge...would you rather be on the upper or lower deck when '89 repeats itself? All that we can really do is try to be prepared. Have a survival plan for the "Big One." "When they tell me 2 walk a straight line, I put on crooked shoes" | |

Premonition maybe? (i'm not kidding either!)  | |

it was kind of cool for a about 15 seconds, then i started to get scared. (it went on for 45 seconds... i think it was only a 6.4 too.) bought insurance for my apt pretty soon after that. | |

I think the experts have been saying this for the past 100 years. I also think Miss Cleo said it too, so don't worry. Just 
I might have to change my plans about going up North this week and be an introspective hermit instead... This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I'm in Alameda and both Sunday's and Tuesday's quakes woke me up. I also remember '89's quake. Awful.

Uhh, UPPER please??? :O Too scary to even think about. It's enough that the bridges have been targets for this terrorism shit, the tremors are making me nervous to be on it AT ALL. I remember during the '89 quake, I had a friend who lived so close to the Cypress freeway in Oakland, they could smell the bodies rotting (retrieving the bodies from under the concrete collapse took a week or two)...  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

CalhounSq, as you probably already know, I grew up in Hawaii. I've felt many earthquakes.
The largest I felt registered 7.2 on the Richter scale, and I was inside a building while the "Up, Up with Music" singers were singing! Tiny shavings were coming from the ceiling, we all thought (for a moment) it was from the loud music!
Boring story, but just to assure you that after feeling so many - ranging from like 5-6 most of the time - it really isn't anything more than the earth doing what it does, a part of nature really - like a thunder or lightening storm.
It's all good!  for when you are scurred.
