I did. It was a mild jolt up here mid-peninsula.

I hope all you Nor Cali Nutters are ok....be safe. I remember those things and they are not fun. 89 Loma prieta was horrible. I got hurt in that one...so after that quakes were always very terrifying to me.

Love yas.

I missed the quake. I must have been walking around or something. Everyone else was talking about it. I guess it pays to be lost in thought...

Yikes. Ya know, I guess it's always something (quake, tornado, flooding, plagues of locusts...)

Glad to hear no serious injuries were reported.

I didn't feel a thing at the SF office that I work at. But my East Bay peeps felt it big-time.

Having grown up in the Bay Area, I've been through many, many of them, including the Loma Prieta Quake of '89. That one changed so much of the face of the south bay. Bleh. :?

Yikes!! I hope everyone in Nor Cal are safe and fine.

The weather has been strange around here. Today it's warm. By next Tuesday, we're supposed to have snow...

Yeah, tornadoes scare me far, far more than earthquakes.

Though if you haven't been through a quake, it's quite the experience.

I have, I have..quakes and a cholera epidemics when I was in 1st junior high. Yep, my hometown was very sanitary even then.

Never been through a twister, though. And I don't plan to...
