Weird. It's been years since I felt three earthquakes in a week much less in 3 days.

Guess it's time to pack up and move to the Sierra's for some excellent beach front property.

Could post faster if FR would stop 503’ing.

Whoa, I haven’t felt something like that in quite a while. Surprised it’s in the 4’s not the 5’s. Depending on how you want to count them, it’s either the second or fifth one in the very same spot in 24 hours.

I’m in Morgan Hill and felt it as a short, strong jolt. Made a loud knocking sound.

It is disconcerting to get three in 3 days. Hope it’s not a precursor to the big one.

Pretty weird when the very earth moves beneath you. Erodes the concept of being “grounded”.

I look for more of it.

Time to make sure my G.O.O.D. bag is up to date.

Palin’s fault.

[Mike Darancette]

Keep it all up on your end of the fault if you please.

You don’t go to the Sierra range to get away from earthquakes. :-)

The San Andreas runs right next to SJB. In fact, the mission there has a seismometer between the compound and what was the Camino del Rael, or however it's spelled. One earthquake a long time ago brought the bells down, methinks.

[Vendome]

If that’s the new beach, that’s where I will be.

[Vendome]

They put it back out in front of the mission?

It had been gone for years.

[Vendome]

Love your homepage.

Wish I could spend my time there.

[Othniel]

It's been a few years since I've been there, so it might be gone. It wasn't in front of the mission.

[Vendome]

I live about 20 minutes away and didn’t see it 4 months ago.

I’ll go this week and have a Looksee.

I was in downtown Gilroy for the 8PM shaker tonight. It felt like a few seconds of rolling to me. I didn't really feel much of a jolt at all.
