I had literally gotten into bed just now and a pretty hard shaker hit. No idea how bad yet. | ||

Yes, but for a moment I thought the building about to come down. Was ready to evacuate. The last time I personally felt a jolt that strong was the '89 Loma Prieta. | |||

Yeah, that was a decently fun one. | |||

I felt it too. Currently in a hotel at 4th and Mission and felt the bed rocking back and forth. Just confirmed it on the USGS site. That’s freaky.

Woke me up. Couldn't tell at first if it was a quake or a big tree fell. Then I stayed awake wondering if the quake might cause a big tree to fall. One liquor bottle fell off the shelf but did not break. | |||

We have some occasional small ones here in East Tennessee. I wouldn't want to have them often. Last one woke me in bed and I thought I was in a scene from The Exorcism. | |||

Someone needs to invest in a restraining system, maybe some 550 cord or something. One cannot have liquor bottles just bouncing willy nilly about the premises. That privilege is restricted to wives/and or girlfriends. | |||

Yep, unfortunately they have caused a lot of wall cracks in my house, and doors stuck/not closing. Going to have to resort to hiring one of those foundation jack places. Earth quake insurance here is useless unless there is I think a 75%+ loss of home value. | |||

I’m ~30 miles east of the epicenter as the crow flies. Slept like a baby right through it. Woke up my wife though. Have co workers that live near there and shook them out of bed. Fun thing about working in SF is so many non natives, both foreign born as well as transplants from other states. When they get their earthquake cherry broke they feel like they have their “I’m finally a Californian” moment. | |||

I like to call earthquakes California's fifth season. The other four are dry, rainy, windy and fire. ![]() I lived 15 miles from the main San Andreas Fault, at the point where it runs through Cajon Pass, for 20 years. I got shaken up a few times, even with the epicenters many miles away, notably two on the same day in Landers/Yucca Valley and Big Bear Lake in 1992 (7.3 and 6.5 respectively) and east of Barstow in 1999 (7.1). | |||

I slept right through it. I guess I've "gotten use to them." Kinda like these guys: Of all the enemies the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst. | |||

I was staying in Alameda near the airport, the odd thing was you heard the rumble than a moment later the shaking. I immediately thought an airplane had crashed, ran over to the windows looking for a big glow, debris falling or, smoke. Nope, just an earthquake. Centered 8-miles below the historic Claremont Hotel in Berkeley along the Hayward fault. | |||

Yep, I knew what P-waves were, and seconds before the '89 quake hit, I heard this high-pitched squeal, and said to myself, "we're about to get a big earthquake". | |||
