Eureka, Ca. just had an earthquake

It was a pretty good roller after the initial shock. No damage done here, didn't even lose power. 7:35 PM, my guess is in the low to mid 5,s richter scale. We'll see how good a guess I made.

We're all fine, just talked to Dean. He was driving across town to meet up with TDN for dinner, didn't even feel it.
Turns out it was a 5.1 centered offshore 41 miles NW of Eureka.

That reminds me of my wife's uncle. On the day of the last big quake in San Francisco, he'd just picked up his new truck, and was driving home when it happened. When he got home he told his wife that he thought there was something wrong with the suspension and that he'd have to bring the truck back because it went through this thirty second period where it felt like it was going to bounce off the road...

Glad everything's OK.
