Na, I was on the road but my wife watched the waved in out tank

 

[sfsuphysics]

Yeah was teaching my astronuts a thing or two, then I went down to the first floor and looked at the seismograph man that thing had a pretty significant jolt on it.

 

[Ibn]

Was visiting Rommel when it hit. We thought his garage was gonna come right down. Pretty freaky.

 

[Raddogz]

Yeah, what an annoyance! >

I was more mad than anything - afterwards I went to go check on the tanks - no water splashed out. Not that I wanted water to splash out, but it sure was pi**er all the same.

 

[kmaintl]

I was driving, never even knew there was a quake. Everything was fine when I got back, couldn't tell that anything was affected.

 

[bareefers]

yeah, it was very powerful even in the north bay (tiburon). The leading tip of it got us in a "WTF" state.. cats included, then the big momma rolled in and we started scattering... I went right for the tank.. the water sloshed a lot and I could see the GPS waving heavily in the sloshing current.. my outer orbit fixture was making a lot of shaking noise.. I was waiting to see a massive LR cave in but nothing did.. whew. I felt a bit disoriented after this one.. but perhaps part of that was the adrenalin.

 

[kmaintl]

Natural wavemaker! LoL ;D

 

[tuberider]

I'm glad everyone is O.K. It's funny I wonder how many of us went to "save" the tank, and didn't run to a door way or some other quake safe area. I know I did while thinking to myself, hanging on to an aquarium is not a good idea.

 

[bareefers]

Yeah - I was thinking this is not a good idea for my safety, but I couldn't pry myself away from the tank.. oy!

[CitS]

My 5 yr old thought it was fun too. )

 

[GreshamH]

[tuberider]

ja feel it again?

 

[Paradox]

It was HAARP! lol

 

[pharoz]

I thought I felt something last night.. woke up and heard a low rumbling, then the bed felt like a water bed. I knew I wasn't night walking... weird.

 

[zambavi]

Yep... about 15-20 minutes ago... just a shudder here in Morgan Hill.

 

[tuberider]

Just a shudder? You are right near the epicenter, 4.5 I just saw on the USGS site (those things change though as all of the readings come in). It wasn't shaking too hard here, it shook for a little while though and it had that feeling like, I might get bigger on you, you better think fast.

 

[zambavi]

I was standing in front of my washer and dryer about to turn on my RO/DI unit when it happened. Both washer and Dryer were running so perceptually it wasn't as bad as it probably was. I thought the washing machine was causing some vibrations but as I stepped away I really felt it for just a split second. Wasn't 100% sure so I went here and confirmed it.
