Anybody felt the quake in Cali?
 

SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck the south San Francisco Bay area early today, but there were no reports of injuries or damage, authorities said.

The quake struck at 5:24 a.m. PDT about 6 miles east of San Martin, a town of 4,200 people in a rural part of southern Santa Clara County, and was followed by three smaller quakes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake could be felt in San Francisco, about 70 miles north of the epicenter.

No one was hurt and there were no reports of damage, according to the Santa Clara County sheriff's department and police in Gilroy, about 8 miles from where the quake struck

I wouldn't expect anyone in Colombia to feel a little shaker like that one...!

(Sorry, couldn't resist....)

Well I sure didn't feel it either...I wonder why? I'm in Jamaica which we all know is but a few miles away from California! :)

I dont think she got it, rjw....

I'm only 25 miles away (San Jose), and I didn't feel it. I'm guessing if I was awake, I might of felt it.

My cat jumping off the bed makes things shake more than that little seismic burp.

Having said that, we're WAY overdue for a sizable jolt down here in southern CA. Glad to hear nothing came of this morning's quake.

It woke me up, a good 60 miles north.

Boy, that is weird! Just around that time I looked out the window, saw the yellow-grey sky, and realized that everything was dead quiet: earthquake weather for sure.

Underhill, I hear you. Although I did not feel this quake up here in San Francisco, I agree with your assessment of "earthquake weather", as controversial as that subject might be. For me, I get suspicious when the wind just suddenly, totally stops, it's warm, and there's a certain feeling that something is waiting to exhale..... I felt something similar the morning of the '89 Loma Prieta.

Speaking of Cats, I though mine would of felt it and wake me up. But they didn't, LOL. :-)

Yes, it totally woke me up!!

I am in San Jose and I didn't feel anything. Only a 4.7 though.

I was outside in downtown Santa Cruz when the Loma Prieta quake hit. Right before it started, I looked around and wondered why it was so darned quiet. Things felt really weird the entire day.

With all the talk of the next "big" one, are you folks in California scared stiff every time the earth starts shaking?

Please don't tell me San Francisco is overdue for a big one! We'll be making our first trip out there end of July and I don't want to hear about any earthquakes that week! Come on, what the chances of it happening the ONE time I'm there?

I had company from the UK last month when there was a 4.2 that we felt in Healdsburg. He was really excited that he got to experience a real earthquake. :-))

We just had the 100th year anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and all the time all we heard on the news and the tv was the next "big one"...it is pretty scarey, to be honest.

but you just have to prepare yourself and hope for the best....it is sort of like the bus or lightening analogy.

they say we are due for the next big one within the next 30 years.

:(

I heard San Jose was where it came from, wondered how far a small one can be felt.

rjw, lol about the cat.
I remember a small quake when I lived in LA that occurred while I was lying by a pool. I thought it was a strong gust of wind until I saw the water all at one end of the pool.
I hope this is all that happens, none of California needs anything bigger!

South of San Jose about 20/25 miles, in San Martin.

rjw lgb ca..
That was a good one!
Being a native Californian, I have never heard of our state being called Cali, except on this board..
The title should of read;
Anybody felt the quake in Frisco in Cali? :)
I live in San Diego and we have our share of earthquakes and a 4.7 is a decent one but San Francisco has the San Andreas Fault line run right through it which is one of the most active fault lines in the world..
Glad that there was no problems!

Sorry to all the Californians for slaughtering the name of your state! :)
