Respect for street labor
Glad it was light and everyone's OK.
A few years ago, we had a 5.0 tremor in Evansville. The next day, there were city workers using jackhammers outside my office building.
The level of vibration from the jackhammer equaled the level of vibration from the earthquake.
Gave me a new respect for that city worker on the street holding on to his jackhammer!If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

I don't miss earthquakes a bit, no I don't! I have childhood memories of dishes crashing and a hanging plant swinging wildly over a fellow classmate.
I'm glad everyone is okay.

okay, I've been here almost 10 years and this is only the 4th quake I've felt but it was definitely the biggest. I was sitting on the couch with bf in mtn view and it was his first. we just looked at each other and simultaneously said "earthquake." we both stood up, hugged, and then he ran out of the house (silly boy) to see what had been damaged.
this was definitely more a roller than a shaker in my experience. and we definitely heard it. it seemed very long to me (compared to my other experiences) -- 10 seconds or so.
I was kinda giddy all night. he couldn't sleep. I'm glad everyone's okay.

I am a 3rd generation californian so in some ways i am used to earthquakes but they still scare me. My husband loves them caus ehe says for just a few moments it's not he's fault (no pun intended).
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Glad to hear you are all ok..
I remember feeling them all the time when I lived in Windsor. The Geysers are nearby, and they throw off mini quakes all the time. I used to do daycare, and when the chillin's were napping I would turn the tv down real low and try to nap a bit myself on the couch. Often I would hear a "tink, tink tink" and look up to see the wood blinds swaying a bit on the windows behind me.
very eerie.
And yeah, I was in Loma Prieta. I lived in an apt. at the time and I remember going to the doorway, and when I looked out the entire building was swaying back and forth. Scariest thing I'd ever seen!
