Went to bed last night at midnight after returning with my son from the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA where we watched Rico Abreau win the 54th Johnny Key Classic Sprint Car Race. He's won 17 events this summer.

Slept right through the earthquake (we're on the SF Penin), but our dog was going nuts about 4 AM. Lots of friends here felt it.

The 22 year old Abreau was incredible last night, too.

I was in Fairfield during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. It was scary for sure.

Cool.
Scary, but cool.

Glad you’re ok.

I have a friend in Davis that I can’t get in touch with.
How far is Davis from the epicenter?

It woke me with what seemed like a strong north to south or vice versa shaking...or that could have been the direction I was trembling in....

No Damage. In San Anslemo CA just North of S.F.

The quake was centered on the Franklin Fault, which has been dormant for approximately 1.6 million years, according to USGS scientist David Oppenheimer.

I’ve been in about a dozen earthquakes, including major ones and most didn’t bother me a bit. But during the Northridge quake (I was working at the time and wide awake), I was literally scared out of my wits for about 5 minutes. The only word I can use to describe it is “vicious”.

I was living near NAS Lemoore when the Coalinga CA quake hit back in the early 80’s.
Same thing about the wobbling buildings. I looked over a 200 sq acre alfalfa field and it was like the ocean.
Got seasick on land.
