There was just another aftershock... http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/SF_Bay.html It only lasted a couple of seconds.

I was dusting my Barbie collection. Fortunately, the bookshelves I display them in are bolted to the walls. Each Barbie is museum waxed to the shelves, so all of them behaved.

I was in bellydance class at the YMCA. We looked at each other and said, "Wow, that was some heavy duty shimmy!"

Didn't feel a thing, but I was on a moving BART that had just gotten past the whole corpse thing. They delayed us and we all started laughing about how they told us there'd been an earthquake as we were trapped underground.

Yeah, I'm the Tendernob resident who didn't feel it. Yes, I am relieved to know we live in a very solid building. It's an Edwardian from around 1912 -- they must have had 1906 strong in their minds. Size, shape and materials of a building, and what floor your apartment/flat is on, seem to make quite a difference. Today I heard some people in the East Bay talking about how they were outside when it happened. They didn't feel it, but they saw parked cars bouncing around.

We were walking around the Haight, watching under cover cops bust homeless kids and whatnot. But, we didn't feel it at all. I don't know why... maybe it was my rubber soled shoes but, we didn't feel a thing. Dang it!

I was at the opening game for the Warriors over in Oakland. A bunch of us sitting in section 213 felt it, and the camera man sitting on a hanging platform above us looked freaked out, spinning around. There was no announcement of the quake by Oracle Arena staff, and the game continued on without pause!

I was eating fish and chips at Durty Nelly's and it began twistin' my body from side 2 side... for about 10 seconds

If someone in the Tendernob didn't feel it, I'd attribute that to good retrofitting more than anything else. My 100-year old apartment building up on California creaked and rattled pretty good.

Strongest one I've felt since this one, which was a 5.0...I was with my wife at CPMC on Califoria St.

I thought it was the cat vomiting again, just a kind of "thwucka thwucka thwucka thwucka" sound. However, my wife insisted it was a quake, and we looked it up on the web, and there it was!
