EARTHQUAKE!!!

A mag­ni­tude 5.6 earth­quake just hap­pened in my area! The epi­cen­ter was about 7 miles east of Milpitas, so maybe 10 miles or so from Fremont (where I’m at). Don’t worry. We’re fine. We’re all fine, here, now, thank you. How are you? Wooh that was fun.

Update: The San Jose Mercury News ar­ti­cle says the “pre­lim­i­nary mag­ni­tude es­ti­mate was 5.6, mak­ing it the most pow­er­ful quake to hit the Bay Area since Loma Prieta, Oct. 17, 1989.” I re­mem­ber the Loma Prieta quake. I was a lit­tle kid, and my mom and I ducked and cov­ered un­der a glass ta­ble. Yeah, I know.
