And CA welcomes me home with a hearty shake.
It's a 3.9 near Berkeley. They had it down first as 4.1, and that so didn't feel like a 4. The USGS listing of recent Bay Area earthquakes is the first bookmark on IE on my iMac. I think this is a good idea.
My idea of good earthquake response apparently involves glaring annoyedly at the ground and saying "Stop it, you stupid quake." I think maybe I need to work on this, in case a more serious earthquake should happen. In that event, I would be doing what one is supposed to, 'cause one can kind of tell how serious it feels. Unlike people like eruthros and my mother, I am not as precise a guesser of magnitude, but I'm getting better. I blame my inadequacy on the fact that the first quake I ever noticed happening was Loma Prieta, and that probably skewed my judgment of them.
