5.6 magnitude... felt my house shaking pretty hard and I'm about 90 miles from epicenter. Really trippy! Hadn't felt one in awhile!

what are the chances on aftershocks and the like. This one was bigger than most, but after i got out of the archway, i went right back to playing poker and watching tv.

The 89 earthquake made me fall over while I was kneeling down at soccer practice. About 90 miles from that one as well. I didn't even know it was an earthquake till I got home and found out the World Series was postponed.

If they aren't OK they are pussies. It wasn't that big.

Felt it in Palo Alto. Just a five-second rumble. The USGS site says there is a 30% chance of damage causing aftershocks in the next week and a 5-10% chance of an equal or stronger shake in the next week.

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.

wasn't that bad in SJ (Almaden) although it was a pretty decent shaker.
