Earthquake San Jose?

[Matthew Meyer]

I think we just had an earthquake. Everyone check your tanks???

 

[IOnceWasLegend]

Earthquake confirmed. 5.1 that seemed to last four or five seconds. Everything's good here, thankfully.

 

[Coral reefer]

Oh wow that’s reasonably large

 

[newfly]

I’m at work. Crossing my fingers .

Careful, your Midwesterner is showing. Growing up here, I don't register one till 6 and 7 is when it gets real.

5.1 is enough to talk about at least. Anything less is just a shrug.

 

[Darkxerox]

Still almost 100x weaker than a 7!

6.9, so almost 100x bigger. But yes, no plates falling off the shelves here.

1989 was pretty crazy. I was a tiny kid, but old enough to remember.

I was playing kickball after school in 1st grade when that happened.

 

[Coral reefer]

Soccer practice, was pissed to miss the beginning of the World Series game. Saw the waves in the ground.

Yeah I noticed it too, however up here in San Francisco felt nothing.

Ooof yeah that makes me feel old, I was in high school (at least I was a freshman!) and procrastinating about doing some report or something for English class by watching the World Series which had Giants vs A's, Giants got swept, not pretty, but hey at least our house was still standing afterwards.

I had a FW tank in '89. Water swayed and spilled. Simple setup, not much electrical equipment. No major damage to tank.

I was doing a water change on my first real freshwater tank at the time. It took me a few minutes to figure out why the water was sloshing around the tank. Luckily I had it drained far enough at that point that all the water stayed in the tank!

I was 9 and remember I was watching tv and the show went out and I blamed my sister when everything started shaking.
