9:30 Update: Things seem to be settling down. We're going to move the bulk of this post behind a jump. The only really big news at the moment is that there's a 30% chance of a strong aftershock in the next week, and a 5 to 10% chance of another strong earthquake.
If you were lucky enough to feel The Great San Francisco San Jose Alum Rock 5.6 Back-and-Forthing of 2007, please continue to send in reports. We especially like links to blog posts about the earthquake, such as Greg's.
Finally, a headline's gone up on KRON's site; but the headline links to a story about the Berkeley tree sitters. Ha! Hey, we wonder if they got rattled out of their perch? Macherena reports that KRON's just been showing a static shot of a seismograph. Bet it sure would be handy to have a reporting staff right about now.
9:10 Update: Cranky reports that MTV is showing reruns of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.
Regarding aftershocks, the USGS says:
... the probability of a strong and possibly damaging aftershock IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS is approximately 30 PERCENT. ... there is a small chance (APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 PERCENT) of an earthquake equal to or larger than this mainshock in the next 7 days. ... approximately 15 to 40 SMALL AFTERSHOCKS are expected in the same 7-DAY PERIOD ...
So there.
Here's where some of the aftershocks have landed -- as you can see, they're pretty small:
BART's running its trains slowly, but with no apparent problems; PG&E reports no utility disruptions. Some broken water pipes reported near San Jose.
