Felt pretty strong here in Danville but didn't last long at all. Ramon added this link in tomorrow's ride thread: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...nc51207740.php (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc51207740.php).

Mild shaking of my apt in sunnyvale. Thought it was the neighbors kids jumping at first but they are not home.

I was sitting on the couch and thought the cat jumped up. But no cat.

It was pretty much just a bump sideways. Or back and forth. Depending upon which way you were facing.

No fair. Not six hours after I leave, and then there's an earthquake. Figures.

Felt pretty different to the ones I've felt from the Hayward fault. There's a thrust fault out under/near Diablo, right?

Some jigglage and slight creaking and the cats and dog acting a bit freaked. Only shook for about 5 seconds at most... and I'm just a few miles away supposedly.

Felt it here in San Fran. My first West Coast Earthquake. Thought the lady upstairs fell or something.

I keep remembering that commercial for that Life Alert gizmo... "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

I just felt one jolt (in south east SF). I wonder if Mt. Diablo gained any altitude from this jolt?

In Lafayette it was a big jolt/noise that only lasted a couple seconds. No swaying just a thump.

Didn't feel it at all ... or maybe it was because I was just enjoying the Dodgers rockin' the D-backs? :D

I thought somebody bumped the couch I'm sitting on but nobody was around so I looked around for any movement but didn't see anything. Got spooked a little.

I've been in CA a little over a month and haven't felt one yet. I'm sure I'll continue to confuse them for bass from my speakers or the garage door opening. I want to see the earth open up and swallow Hunter's Point!

I was at the Nine Inch Nails concert in Oakland. I thought I felt something but just figured it was the crowd getting into The March of the Pigs.

Nooo no no. Marina gives the best treats for Halloween. Tenderloin. *snaps finger* Let Tenderloin disappear.
