Considering I live in San Jose, I felt it pretty good. It shook for about 10 seconds and the chandeliers swayed back and forth for over 5 minutes from momentum. We all flew under a door frame and then skirted outside to find most of our neighbors doing the same. Once it stopped, we got on the USGS web site and added to their data collection.
I was here when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit and all its aftershocks and, consequently, am much more jumpy with quakes than I was before that.
p.s. I must confess and apologize to the state of Texas for wishing mother nature would leave California alone for a while and go there. I did not mean that (well the Texas part). I am still not over UTexas’ coach paying off AP voters to jump over Cal in the Rose Bowl voting a few years back.
