I am in a sacramamento suberb...I didn't feel it...hmmmm hope nobody is hurt...

**ilovemypup** · 10-30-2007, 10:33 PM

Hi!

Oh that's good!

I don't think anybody was hurt, but because it was big there will be bigger afterquakes

I felt it here in Concord. Alum Rock is the south bay, near Milpitas I guess.
They keep interrupting the TV shows about it.
I thought Zoee just bumped my chair, but then the stuff on the wall and the blinds were moving and Zoee wasn't even in the room!

It wasn't as bad as the one earlier in the year though. That one freaked me out!!

**ilovemypup** · 10-30-2007, 10:54 PM

Woah!

scary!
Take care!

Ah ok that's where it is

I heard about the one earlier.. I didn't feel anything!

Hope everything is together and not broken!

Take care!

I FELT IT!! Knocked me on my badongadonk! I was bending over feeding Smudge and the ground went out from under my feet! I'm about 20 miles from the epicenter. Ish kabible! Hard to tell right after if it was me shaking or still the earth rolling! Hope everyone is okay!

darn...I missed it.

I just got an email from my grandmother wishing me happy birthday and mentioned about this, things did fall but none damaged.

never happened in my or her area.. scared her to death and she's okay now, just shaking a little.

poor thing!

I hope it wasn't too bad and everyone remained okay.

Hmmm, Alum Rock park is on the north east corner of San Jose, roughly south of Milpitas. Most of my family felt the quake although we are about 80 miles east north east of the epicenter. Ironically, I was moving furniture when it hit and was SO confused when everyone was comparing notes on the quake! I thought they were teasing me.

I've gotten an email from Don Juan's Mom checking on me. She says she's fine, but Zerlina's set land records for a kitty! So glad to know she and they are okay, hope she didn't have any property damage.

Has anyone heard from KAK or Cathy Bogart or Wolflady or any of the other PTers closer to the epicenter???

We barely felt it here in the Oakland/Berkeley area, but I guess it was pretty bad since it kept interrupting the TV shows here, too.

Well, ya gotta love Nor Cal

**Taz_Zoee** · 10-31-2007, 12:32 AM

It actually lasted pretty long. Not that I have much experience with earthquakes. But the news said it lasted about 20 seconds. And that's why I was confused as to what was happening. Usually, the few I've felt, were only a few seconds. This one seemed to go on and on.
I think the news also said no major damage has been reported. Some places had things fall of shelves, but nothing serious. Thanks goodness!!

**RedHedd** · 10-31-2007, 12:01 PM

Oh yeah! That was a good l-o-n-g one and scared the heck out of me. Mitzi just looked up at me, scrambling to get into a doorway, and then went back to sleep - she's a true San Francisco kitty

**ilovemypup** · 10-31-2007, 12:20 PM

Yup, for me 5.6 is wayy big enough!

Glad to hear your okay RedHedd! Awww she is a SF Kitty Cat!
Cute!

My puppy was a bit startled, but nothing else,

**Taz_Zoee** · 10-31-2007, 12:22 PM

How big was the one we had back in Jan or Feb? THAT one freaked Zoee out, she jumped up and started barking. Or maybe it was just closer to me then. I don't know, but even the tinniest ones freak me out a little. I don't want the BIG one to come.......please.

I'm glad to hear everyone is okay.

**ilovemypup** · 10-31-2007, 12:32 PM

Heya

I remember the one your talking about! I have no clue how big it was but that really scared us! My pup started barking and everything.....thankfully back then she was really little and I could just scoop her up and head to the doorway!

**RedHedd** · 10-31-2007, 03:34 PM

The one earlier this years was scary, but it wasn't as long as the one last night. The one last night just kept rockin' and rollin' and the house keep creaking. I felt several aftershocks too - had a hard time getting to sleep.
