How did anyone in the Bay Area NOT feel that earthquake? I was chatting to forum member RPM one night when a 4 magnitude hit.

 

[damraider]

We were having supper out and the resturant had a good shake (Alamo).

I was in my CNC machine class when it hit.. it hit hard but only seemed to last for 4-5 seconds or so.

That 5 seconds is longer than most tremors by about 4 seconds. Mercury News just ran an article a couple of weeks ago. The Hayward fault has a major earthquake every 140 years. We're on year 139. I'm talkin' about a big one...7+.

Ive heard that it has been guessed that there is to be a big earthquake here in California just like the one long ago...that it has been taking longer to happen than expeced...as much as I want that not to happen...earth is earth lets all just grap on to our mopars lol

I must be immune. Things start shaking around here and I keep typing. Of course, I can hear my neighbors congregating out front and making a big deal over it. The '89 Loma Prieta quake was the last one to get my attention. I hink it was either 6.8 or 7.2.

ya my parents are older so they know but they say one in 1956 was even bigger and lifted things

 

[cuda12]

didnt feel it here and I was on the courts with my girls tennis team ??

 

[jomoper]

I didn't feel it . Course I was playing drums at the time .
A friend commented "that's odd the lights are swinging back and forth"
Just thought it was Me!

 

[BubbaCuda]

Wow you didn't feel the earthquake. It shook for over 30 seconds....

 

[jomoper]

Well I was in emeryville quite a ways from the epicentre...

 

[TheDemonator]

Yeah... we felt it up here in Fairfield. Just seemed like a little tremor up here.

 

[sublimeswinger]

Ya ifelt it. Was on the CPU at the time. It was a good jolt. Dont know about 30 seconds though, closer to 4-5.

 

[Thrashard340]

The official duration was 30 seconds but probably only 5 sec worth of noticeable tremors where you were at. I was in UC at the time and felt about 10 seconds of it. I heard some people in Milpitas felt it for much longer.

 

[DusterBoy15]

another one at 3:54

 

[ramhi4x]

I grew up in Whittier, CA as in 1987 Whittier quake. It's an LA suburb and I now live in Central Oregon. I sure don't miss those earthquakes, the only thing we have to worry about up here are volcanoes, easy money LOL!
