EARTHQUAKE!!!!

Anyone else feel the quake in Norcal?

I'm in Santa Rosa and it was pretty crazy. Sounded like a huge bang like a freight train, then swaying like being on a boat.

We had a few things knocked over in the house.

Yes, that was the one. I'm about 30 miles from the epicenter.

This was the biggest quake since the big one from 25 years ago. It was pretty major.

Happened at 3:20am, it was pretty scary.

Yea that was the biggest quake I've ever experienced, although I was in the South Bay so one of those quakes around 2000 that was a 5.something I think in the Peninsula shook up the house a bit more as I was closer. This quake kept on shaking for longer though, which was scary.

6.0 is what CNN is reporting: California Earthquake CNN

Had a contact a few miles from the epicenter and everything in his store was off the shelf or "upside down," scary stuff.

Stay classy San Diego (and NorCal)!

Lmao!

Didn't feel it really here in Lodi, I've been in a 7.0 quake tho. Definitely can be frightening.

I was up and felt it, a 6- 8 inch sway, with diminishing after tremors, but I'm about 60 miles south.
