We felt a small earthquake in Davis, CA earlier tonight. Active day for our earth! I quite like earthly events like this — they really make one realize how minuscule we are.
I was in mountain view for the '89 loma prieta quake. The walls of our tilt-up on easy street we're waving like flags, and the huge Costco shelves in the shipping room collapsed, shattering a workers arm. I know that this is nothing like the horrors that other people in quakes have faced, but for years afterwards my flesh would crawl when a large truck would pass by. Then I moved to Oakland just in time for the '91 firestorm...
Only half of us felt it here in Sacramento, CA. It seriously just felt like someone slammed a door very hard.
