Wimpy Quake

4.3, felt like 3.0
More info from USGS here.

For those of you who think it is dangerous here because we get a lot of earthquakes, the fact is we have not had a major quake in the SF Bay Area since October 1989. I don't think I've even felt more than a half dozen since then. LA has had more, but nothing big since 1994. OTOH, snowstorms and hurricanes happen several times a year in those places which get them - I don't think I want to trade you. kbyethx

One of three housemates did not feel it. Said it was probably due to walking around while it was happening.

So the earth moved for you too, eh? [g,d,rlh]

Seriously, I felt it too. Most of the guys at work thought it was someone jumping around on the roof.
