5. I felt it

and I live about 35 miles north. From what I can tell it was either on the Hayward or Calaveras Fault.

It was more than the usual little bumps we get around here.

15. Calaveras

The one that runs right smack through the middle of my town.

7. Over near Alum Rock, huh? That's the Hayward fault, iirc.,

5.6 is exciting ... more than just a bump in the night but shouldn't cause much damage. Let's hope it's not a precursor quake.

8. Crap..my youngest daughter flys to Sacramento on Fri for 2 wks

management training. She's never felt a quake. Hope its not a precursor, and hope anyone in the 5.6 tonite was not harmed.

11. Sacto's inland

There would have to be a BIG quake to feel it in Sacto.

Sacto gets floods though. :P

16. Sacramentan here. Didn't know there had been an earthquake till I saw this thread.

Here's a map showing the location of the quake: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/San_Francisco.html

9. I'm in Modesto, and I felt it

I was at the grocery store and could feel the shake, and see the hanging signs wave back and forth. It wasn't scary here, but every time I feel that, I think it may have been bad somewhere. Thank goodness it was as light as they're saying.

12. come on folks, 5.6 just isn't that bad

been through Loma Prieta, and other smaller earthquakes... that is why we have building codes...

yawn.

[Der Blaue Engel]

17. I was here during Loma Prieta as well

But this one made me a little nervous, because it seemed quite strong in my neighborhood, and you never know where they're centered.

18. we used to holler *surf's up* with anything under 6

Of course, we no longer live in California :evilgrin: Only needed one 6.8 to shake us loose. :rofl:

[caligirl]

13. santa cruz here, shelves swayed bottles clinked and my dog would noit go under the

table with me. My son is at college in Santa Clara and they all had to walk outside as a precaution.

[lonestarnot]

14. Under the table? Maybe you should have grabbed a steak on your way under.

21. I grew up in SJ just about 5-6 miles away...

Guess I better make some calls in the morning. =(
