Moderate Earthquake

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

We had an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 at 8:04 p.m. this evening. Here’s the quake’s seismological data from the U.S. Geological Survey website, where one can track quakes in real-time (well, almost) in the Bay Area.

The epicenter’s just south of where we live. I was in the kitchen washing dishes when the bay window started to shake. The kids ran for cover under the dining table. The shaking ended after several seconds. Everyone’s fine and nothing broke or fell off the shelves.

Here’s the earliest news report from the San Jose Mercury News. It includes reactions from the local populace soon after the article was posted.

(But of course, Twitterers like Mark and I got our reactions up on the web even more quickly. Heh.)

Update: My tweets get included in these posts (one, two) by someone who tracked Twitter posts about the quake immediately after it happened.
