Thanks...we're all fine where I live.

I felt it down here in Seaside.
It lasted a while, eh?

This site gives a map and information, doesn't seem to have anything on damage. Looks like a 5.6.

There was no news of an earthquake (at the time I post this) on the website for San Jose's newspaper: http://www.mercurynews.com
Glad you're okay, Anne and Spectre.

Now there's news....they're still saying 5.6...I think it was worse. The epicenter is about 10 iles fro where I am. Some of my neighbors lost cable service and cell phone service. All the elderly people are trickling downstairs to the Community Room now. I guess they're worried about aftershocks.
i've been through many earthquakes in CA. This one was strange; it sounded like thunder the whole time! The building rocked side to side, reeeeeally rocked!
Ah, well.....back to your regularly scheduled programming!

Yipppeeee, my first earthquake here!
I first heard the sound in the distance and felt rattling, and I thought it must be a really loud train. The TV was on, so I couldn't make out the sound too much but then the whole house was shaking back and forth, and then it was pretty clear. I thought for a second of what I would do if I had to go outside (I'm not exactly dressed fully at the moment), but the shaking stopped. Then I went to the USGS website and within five minutes there was a notice about the quake with the epicenter. Then the second the magnitude was listed the local network cut in with the news anchor telling us about the quake and the magnitude.
