Blib, you're in NoCal, are you ok? Are in in the vicinity?
A reporter on CNN who is in the San Francisco area (near where Blib is) said he didn't feel the quake there. Apparently the quake was centered some 200 miles north of S.F.
I didn't know about it until I read about it here. We've had medium-to-small earthquakes the past couple of days here though. We're due for a biggie. It's strange the earthquake was so far north. Makes me wonder if it's the start of something big closer to where most of the faults are in the bay area. I live right on top of the Hayward fault which has a higher % of a large earthquake likely to happen than the other faults.
Well, glad to see you're ok. I wasn't sure exactly where it hit OR where you were.
Anyway, according to this article, it was started as a rolling and ended with a jolt. From my experience, it's either one or the other. I don't know which is scarier really. I guess the quick jolts make me jump a little more. The Rollers you sort of stand/sit there and think "ok, is this the worst of it." Pretty scary sometimes though.
