Hi all, yep I was emailing dear Scarlett when the floor starting rolling! Than a few minutes later my daughter called..she hates earthquakes, lol.
Anyway evidently there is no damage or injuries thank goodness. My grandmother and her parents and sibilings were in the 1906 SF earthquake, so I sort of "roll with the punches" so to speak. Hi Scarlett!

A 4-pointer plus is a good size "starter" earthquake, for tourists and new residents - strong enough to really experience it but not massively destructive or terrifying. Any visitors care to comment with impressions?
Myself, I was lounging post-dinner with the cat (who gave no indication whatever). The wall next to me jiggled, stopped, then there was one hard jolt. You know, the scariest thing about most quakes is not knowing how bad it's going to be. Last night's tremors could have been the first moments of a much larger,longer quake. You just don't know as it's happening.
FYI, a pal who lives directly across Sloat Blvd from the San Francisco Zoo said that the howler monkeys and the peacocks were going ballistic right afterward.
