84BDsop Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 a 5.6 can be pretty significant...it's up at the level where Californians pay attention. No reports of damage yet....our buildings are built to take worse than a 5.6....but stuff probably came off the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraNYC Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah, I was in a 5.2 once in the Midwest not too far from the epicenter and it was noticeable. Tonight I was driving to the In And Out with my brother for dinner around 8pm so we must have missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 a 5.6 can be pretty significant...it's up at the level where Californians pay attention. No reports of damage yet....our buildings are built to take worse than a 5.6....but stuff probably came off the shelves. This was kind of weird ... Almost knocked me off the couch here in the East Bay. It was just a single jolt, like a wave passing by. When we had the 4.2 in San Leandro (or thereabouts) a couple of months ago, my bed was shaking for 15 seconds or so. I guess quakes come in different varieties. Be interesting to see the late news on what kind of damage happened in the South Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade_fireman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 everybody is fine so far. Where I live in Napa we didnt feel it at all, but San jose is about 70 (?) miles away where it was centered. Talked to a few San jose people who said it didnt do anything. Described as a quick jolt, then rolled for about 15 seconds after. Not big...just long :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappyslap Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 We were having a bod conferance call and if Greg Gilman didn't feel in San Jose I don't think I would have noticed it at all in Oakland. All is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIHasBeen Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 The news is calling this the most significant quake since Loma Prieta ... But it doesn't seem like it caused much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomnoise Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It was a good shake. I had just stepped out to walk the dogs and heard it before I felt it (they didn't notice a thing). Was pretty short initial jolt, then the slow rolling of an aftershock. Not a huge quake, but it was the most significant since Loma Prieta (that was a big one). Remember - on the Richter scale, each increment is equal to ten times the force (a 6 is 10xas strong as a 5). Hope it eased the pressure on the fault system. The longer it builds, the bigger the quake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
