Did you get jostled around last night?
The in-laws in Pleasant Hill and Concord reported some pictures
knocked off the wall, etc. nothing major. Heard it was on the
Calavaras fault. Hope that doesn't set up stress in the Hayward fault.


Yes we shook fairly well. We are about 3 miles from the Calaveras fault,
but on a rocky hillside., not down in the alluvial plains that are the
valley floor around here. The Calaveras fault is much more likely to have a
7+ quake than the Hayward according to a lot of the seismologists. Friend
is with the USGS and is an earthquake guru and that is what he reports. My
mom lives very near the Hayward fault as it traverses the Oakland hills.
But her house was bolted to the foundation when it was build in 1908.
Amazes some people that they figured that out back then. Thanks for asking.
We had no damage, and only the chandelier rattled for about 5 minutes.
