So yeah! A 5.6er hit San Jose earlier this evening. I was actually on voice chat with a few people over the internet as it was happening.

I figured it'd freak me out a bit more than it actually did. It was sorta fun! It scared the shit out of my kitten, though. He hid under a chair for almost three hours and is still gingerly moving around, trying to make sure it won't happen again.

I've never experienced something like that before, though. The whole earth shaking, to the point where you can feel your entire building move. Like a train going by at first, but it just gets a lot more intense. Sounds about the same.

Good times, all in all. Dunno if I'd enjoy anything bigger, but 30 seconds of shaking was actually sort of neat.

Anyone in the area feel that? I'd assume so. It was apparently the biggest one we've had since '89.

Dude, I'm from the east coast. The worst weather we ever got in Rhode Island was Hurrcaine Andrew, which knocked a giant pine tree onto my neighbor's house and smashed it.

Earthquakes are a big deal for me!

Still, I'm a bit dissapointed surprised there was so little structural damage. You'd figure an entire giant building being shaken back and forth several inches for 30 seconds would crack something, but nope. I think some crap fell off my shelves?
