...We just had an earthquake here in the Bay Area at 5.6 on the Richter Scale with the epicenter about 9 miles north of San Jose. Post a coin with a die crack.
...I hope all are ok.

No, but I would welcome anyone who wants to PM me images of their toned commems and I'll render my decision as to whether or not thay are D.F.A.

I've only been in two earthquakes, one in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland. I bet dollars to donuts neither of them was anywhere near a 5.6! The one in PA when I was a kid made my glass of milk go from side to side, the one in MD a few years ago made my window shake. Nothing cracked.

I went to high school there.
The Santa Clara show still goes on, so be sure to stop by between this Thursday and Sunday.

Thanks for remembering Wei!
I walk to Alum Rock every day. All pictures are slanted. Even though I hadn't added water to my fish tank it splashed water over the floor. Books fell off shelves. Glasses too. Broken glass is on the floor.
I was able to take cover. The eipcenter is 5 miles from my house. It is described as a moderate quake. I was able to take cover. During the '89 Loma Prieta quake I was not able to take cover. I could not walk. More later...
The worst one I've been though here was in 1988. I lived in the Milpitas foothills when a 5.3 centered about two mile east struck in the early morning. I was nearly thrown out of my water bed and awoke to explosions, flashing light, breaking glass and shaking. Then windows where breaking thruout the neighborhood and power transformers were blowing all around. I thought we were being bombed.

Well I didn't feel any aftershocks. I did hear a noise just before the quake. It sounded to me like a train was coming, then it felt like a train hit the house! If you are right on top of a 5+ quake you can feel it pretty strongly. The big quakes are felt more widely.
