Our building is old/new at 2nd and Market...epicenter was apparently 9 miles from city center, fewer from Pacifica, in the ocean. No biggie. I usually don't feel them, so I am surprised I felt this one.

I felt it in Walnut Creek, though i would have thought it was something else, a weather balloon backing into swampgas or something, if it hadn't been reported.

I'd definitely rather have frequent small ones to relieve the pressure.

FYI, here is an animation from the USGS website that shows 30 million years of movement along the San Andreas fault and its predecessors. It is a compilation of an enormous inter-disciplinary data set including the correlation of Pinnacles to the Neenatch Fm ~ 300 km to the south. The stripes off shore are sea floor magnetic anomalies.

If you fast forward the animation in your imagination to 5 my in the future, Baja will be located adjacent to San Bernandino.

Ha ha ha. Classic. I used to live in Nob Hill. I liked it there! Was so excited about being on a street with the cable car when we first moved. Our basement apartment shook every time it went by. It's not that bad.
Edit: Lolli...just a neighborhood in San Francisco, generally North of California between...Taylor and Van Ness to...Greene? Is that right?

Anybody ever been on a route during an earthquake? What was it like?
Seems like it would make climbing more like rodeo as a sport............

CONCEPT ONE: the resolution of the earthquake measuring devices is getting better and better. Even the tiniest rumble is Front Page. Earthquakes nobody feels are On The Record.
CONCEPT TWO: as foretold in the Bible, the accelerating occurrence of more and more earthquakes means imminent total disaster for all sinners. The newspapers have stories about more and more earthquakes.
For me, here in California, I kinda like stories about alotta little earthquakes - - - the tectonic strain energy is released each time, and it doesn't build up.
I'll move from California when the little mini-earthquakes STOP happening.
When there are no more puny, stress-relieving earthquakes, that's when you know the strain energy has built up to a disaster level: the Big One.
If the tectonic strain is not relieved by puny shakes, it builds up, and can create a disaster when it finally breaks.
Every time the tectonic gods shift in their musical chairs, and release a bit of strain energy, it makes it safer (not necessarily safe) to live in California.

We've been having quakes down in San Diego area too, 2 since May 1st that were strong enough to get you out of the recliner and moving. Depending on who's talking it either means the big one is coming, or these little ones are letting off pressure so the big one doesnt happen. Scientists just dont know how to say "we have no f*#king clue".
Ive lived in socal for 54 years and have heard "the big one is coming" my whole life. Ill believe it when it happens.

FYI - it would take approximately 27,000 magnitude 5 EQs (or 800,000 mag 4s) to release the energy of one magnitude 8 (a "big one"), so that "stress relief" idea is BS.
