Quake

20 July 2007

I’ve been living in the bay area for over 18-months now and so far haven’t noticed an earthquake. Last night I was woken up by my entire house shaking, for what seemed like a very long time. It turns out there was a magnitude 4.2 quake, last night in Oakland. I think the shake was amplified by being 3-stories up in a wooden building. Here’s hoping the "big-one" occurs after I’ve left the Bay Area — or when I’m on holiday.
