We had a pretty nice earthquake early this morning that actually made national news. at least for a while. It was a whoping 4.2, but here by the Oakland hills, where it was centered, it felt pretty big. Apparently, it did some damage around the area, like shattering the windows in the Safeway in Berkeley and breaking a bunch of wine bottles in grocery stores in the Oakland hills. Our house was ok, aside from the fact that all the roommates were shaken out of bed, except for the one who for some reason was in the shower when it happened at 4:40AM.
Apparently, we had an aftershock this afternoon that actually hit 2.8, but unfortunately, I was at work, and my building is like the springiest place ever, so it kind of shakes even when a truck goes by outside or a big person walks to heavily, so we didn't notice it. Hopefully, this isn't a precurser to a big one....
