This was definitely the strongest I've felt since the Loma Prieta quake, but still much weaker than that. That the epicenter was only ~10 miles from my house made it feel stronger than "only" 5.6 but just as in '89 nothing fell, nothing broke. Well, AT&T wireless completely died for about 15 minutes; I guess it doesn't count as a dropped call if you can't make one in the first place.

GO WARRIORS!!! I don't think they even paused the game for the quake. No mention of it on the broadcast, unless I missed it when I went out to check if my motorcycle fell down.

was at the game. i didn't even realize there was an earthquake until later when people were looking it up on their iPhone. the game never paused.

The scene at Bay101 was pretty interesting - people rushing to the exits and generally freaking out; several games broke almost immediately after it was over, with a bunch of players racking up and hitting the cage. I slid under the table and sort kept one hand above me on my chips, but the shaking was over just a few seconds after it started, followed by the inevitable. "OK, it's over. Did the button move? C'mon and deal already."

Definitely created a buzz in the room, and I think the release of adrenaline loosened up a few of players in my game once play resumed.

Glad no one was hurt.
