lasted for just a couple of seconds. not really enough to know that it was a quake but we're hoping that was the big one that people talk about. :lol:
...and not enough to knock over toys I have at work.

Don't forget, today is the Anniversary of the SF 1908 earthquake

Personally, I could do without the big quakes! Too messy, unsettling, and too much damage :x

You should always have an earthquake kit at home AND in your car. Ladies, please make sure you have comfy walking shoes stored in your car--can't be walking miles and miles on those sleek stilettos :wink:

The goal is to be self-sufficient for TWO WEEKS (at least) in the event of a large earthquake:
http://www.essortment.com/pack-earthqua ... 30236.html
^^^A good description of the necessities.
Also, a wind-up/solar powered flash light and radio are really handy for emergencies as well. Candles can be a fire hazard so rechargeable light sources are much safer. Don't forget water purifying tablets and/or a filter. Remember that you can survive 30 days without food, but you won't last for more than 3 days without water (dying of thirst is an agonizing way to go).

Thank you Living Dead! Yes, thank goodness it was only a teeny quake to mark the Anniversary of the 1906 big one! I hope that the situation is improving for everyone in Japan, and my heartfelt hopes and best wishes go out to you and everyone there!

Thank you as well. I think we are just rolling along with aftershocks. A pretty big jolt hit this morning. It didn't last long, but I'm curious if anyone in my collection went for a dive. I will have to check during my lunch.

I had three toys take a dive (no damage). But I live in daly city closer to the epicenter. Glad to hear that the situation is getting better in Japan

edit: usgs lists it as 4.2.

by the way... don't these smaller scaled quakes help relieve some of the "stress" on the fault line, or something like that?

I suggest heading over the hill into Dublin , everything west of the fault will snap off and fall into the ocean.

Both of today's quakes felt sort of like explosions to me. More bang than shake. Yikes.
