Default Napa, California Quake

I've been in touch with Rich/CHP8336 and Ken/E435300_SMPV, who are both fine after the nearby earthquake. Has anyone heard from MikeC/mac88chp yet to see how he's doing? I think he's about an hour away from Napa.

Checking in and all is fine with us here. Our place is about 30 miles from the epicenter and other than having a few minor things tossed around in the house and garage and a couple of small cracks open up on a new retaining wall, we came through the ordeal pretty much unscathed. Even at the distance we were at, the shaking made it seemed like the house was getting hit by a fully loaded semi going about 60...scary stuff.

Glad you're OK, Michael, that sounds very scary.

That is a weird feeling having that happen to you.
Glad you are ok and no damage to speak of !!

When we were in Alaska, June of last year, I woke up around 0300 to find our bed shaking back and forth pretty good. I kicked my wife ( girlfriend at the time ) and asked " what are you doing ?" thinking she was shaking the bed, then I realized it was an earthquake.

I jumped up to the window and all I could hear was the rumbling and what sounded like a jet engine or huge jet plane trying to take off. Guess that was the earthquake moving away or across the ground so I was told.

It is strange to feel it ! I could only imagine what it would be like being in the center of it. Not fun !

Jolted out of bed again this morning at 0530 with back to back 3.7 / 3.9 aftershocks. Actually good news as these add to the odds that the big one on Sunday was not just a precursor for one even more wicked.

We had these when I was stationed in Guam. Very un-nerving! In a thunderstorm you run inside. In a tornado you get in the storm shelter. During a flood you get to high ground. During a fire you get the %$^* out.

During an earthquake and you hear the rumble and see the yard and street like rolling waves of the ocean, where can you run??????? Scares the hell out of you.

Glad everyone is OK.
